India’s veteran all-rounder batsman Yuvraj Singh is not bothered about his failure to keep his place in the national squad and said that he has not been looking to hang his boots before 2019 World Cup.

Acknowledging the fact that Yuvi is pushing himself harder than ever before the southpaw maintained that his career decisions will be only be decided by him. Yuvraj Singh played his last international match in June 2017.

Speaking during an event, Yuvraj said, “I would like to tell that I am failing. I still fail. I failed the last three fitness tests but yesterday I passed my fitness test. After 17 years I am still failing.I am not afraid of failure. I have gone through ups and downs. I have seen defeat and that’s what’s the pillar of success.”

He further added, “To be a successful man, to be a successful person in your life, you need failure and you’ve got to be defeated. That will make you a stronger person and it will take you to the next level.”

Unveiling that he hasn’t stopped believing in himself, Yuvi said, “I am still playing. I don’t know what format I am going to play. But I am pushing every day as hard as I used to, maybe harder than before because I am getting older. And I see myself playing cricket till 2019 and obviously take a call after that. So I still believe in myself. As I said I don’t know how many people believe in me but I do believe in myself.”
