Former Indian all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh was known for playing some match-winning knocks during his 17-year long international career, with the most notable one being the ‘Player of the Tournament’ award in the 2011 World Cup. After a fruitful international career, he decided to call it a day last year without much fanfare.

A year later, Yuvraj has expressed his frustration against the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for being “very unprofessional” in managing him towards the fag end of his career. He said, “I just felt that the way they managed me towards the end of my career was very unprofessional. But looking back at a couple of great players like Harbhajan, Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, also very badly mismanaged. So it is part of Indian cricket, I had seen it in the past and I was not really surprised.”

Despite a fairly successful white-ball career, Yuvraj didn’t get to play many games in the longest format and he thinks that is what turns a good player into a legendary player.

When asked whether he should have got a farewell game, Yuvraj said that is not for him to decide.

During an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda, the veteran southpaw said, “First of all, I don’t think I’m a legend. I’ve played the game with integrity but I didn’t play much Test cricket. Legendary players are those who have good Test records. For giving somebody a farewell, that’s not for me to decide, that’s for BCCI to decide.”
