Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the India captain, has welcomed the return to action of Yuvraj Singh after his treatment for a malignant lung tumour.
"He is a champion player, a match winner and he also helps me get the kind of balance in the side especially in a T20 format," Dhoni said.
Yuvraj played in India's one-run defeat to New Zealand in a T20 international in Chennai on Tuesday.
Dhoni added: "We don't really play with the fifth bowler and we don't have a genuine all-rounder, so part-timers like Yuvraj, (Virat) Kohli, (Suresh) Raina and Rohit (Sharma) are very useful in T20 cricket."
India begin their World Twenty20 campaign on Sept 19, when they take on Afghanistan in Colombo in a Group A match.
