Yuvraj invited as Euro chief guest

NEW DELHI, June 13: Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh will present the man-of-the-match award at the Euro 2008 match between Switzerland and Portugal in Basel on Sunday, a sponsor said.

Yuvraj faces a late night dash from the Bangladesh capital Dhaka to reach Basel in the time for the game where his football hero Cristiano Ronaldo will be playing for Portugal.

“Obviously it’s a huge honour to be invited to give away the man-of-the-match award in a tournament like the Euro,” Yuvraj said. “I’ve always supported Manchester United and am a great fan of Ronaldo.”—AFP
