Harbhajan Singh shared a picture where it was showing how his Mumbai Indians teammate Suryakumar Yadav is playing now and his form has been neglected by the Indian team management. However, Yuvraj Singh replied saying, “Yaar I told you ! They don’t need a no 4 top order is very strong.”

Recently while speaking to ‘Aaj Tak’ on Thursday, Yuvraj revealed many things like how the BCCI and team management did not trust the senior players like him, Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan towards the end of their careers and convey their plans clearly that they want youngsters.

“I never thought that I would be dropped after being the man of the match in 2 games out of the 8-9 I played after the Champions Trophy 2017. I got injured and I was told to prepare for the Sri Lanka series. Then suddenly, the yo-yo test came into the picture,” he added.

“It was a u-turn in my selection. Suddenly I had to go back and prepare for the yo-yo test at the age of 36. Even after I cleared the yo-yo test, I was told to play domestic cricket. They actually thought that I wouldn’t be able to clear the test due to my age. And that it would be easy to decline me afterwards… yeah you can say it was an exercise in making excuses,” he told.

Yuvraj Singh last played for India in 2017 in a T20I against England which India won by 75 runs and the former all-rounder was the part of India’s World Cup-winning team as well.
