If I can sustain for another 2-3 years I will be proud of myself: Yuvraj Singh

Flamboyant all-rounder Yuvraj Singh is currently busy regaining his touch and making yet another possible comeback into the national team. Unfortunately, he has again returned to the state of oblivion after lukewarm show in the T20 series against Australia earlier their year in January and World T20 after making his return to the Indian T20 team after two years in early 2016

Currently playing in the pink-ball version of the Duleep Trophy, Yuvraj says he is committed to making yet another comeback.

“I have been training pretty hard in the off-season for whatever opportunities I get going forward. Obviously international cricket is why I am still playing. I want to come back and represent my country. Hopefully if that happens, whenever I want to hang my boots, if I can sustain for another 2-3 years I will be proud of myself. My target is to play the 2019 50-overs World Cup,” speaking to India Today, he said.

Yuvi refuses to downplay the importance of hardwork and performances and states that if he is able to performances according to his potentials then he might get another chance.

“If you have to be in the mix you have to perform to your best potential. If I can do that, I’m sure I’ll have chances,” he said.

Speaking on the experience of playing under lights with the pink ball, Yuvraj said, “Definitely it has been exciting. Something to look forward to in Test cricket. The shine of the ball doesn’t go off, so it stays pretty much new. The pink ball is still to be tested in turning conditions; the wicket we are playing on right now has a lot of grass. And then let’s see the outcome. But it is exciting to play under lights.”

“T20 is what people love watching now. This is one way to engage people in Tests and to make it more enjoyable. If the format is enjoyable for the players and the fans, that could spell good days.”
