Tear away past bowler Mayank Yadav is all set to join the Lucknow Super Giants by Tuesday as he has recovered from his back and toe injury, sources told MyKhel. He is also likely to play the next game on April 19 against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.

It is revealed that Mayank himself is ready for the challenge and would be match-ready this week, NCA sources said. "He is fighting fit and should be raring to go now," a source said.

In the last few days, LSG were struggling on the pace front and Mayank's entry will enhance their performance.

MyKhel was the first to report how a battle of words had taken place between LSG and the NCA over Mayank's injury.

Due to his lack of 100 per cent fitness and lack of clarity on his comeback, LSG had demanded Mayank to be declared unfit for the entire season - so that they can pick some other fast bowler from the pool of unsold players as a replacement. LSG had denied such a move.

The Lucknow team was also desperate then because of a couple of the others pacers were also struggling with fitness. But Mayank was confident of making a comeback in the middle of April and he is got into good shape and could boost LSG's chances in the play-off - it he could sustain without injury.
