Yograj Singh says great players like Yuvraj Singh should not be dropped

Yuvraj Singh’s father, Yograj Singh is thrilled with his son’s comeback to the Indian T20 team for the Australian tour. Yograj insisted that players of his son’s calibre should not be dropped just because of some bad innings. “He (Yuvraj) has always been a very special player for India. I am not saying this because he is my son but because I have coached him. I always knew he was going to make a comeback because of the way things were going. I think the best thing that has happened to him is that both Yuvraj and Hazel are on the same level as far as fitness is concerned,” Singh was quoted by ANI.

The father was still critical of the management’s decision to keep Yuvi out of action for so long. “His comeback was always on the cards. When he was dropped I was very much hurt because such great players cannot be dropped just after few bad innings. You got to push them up. A player must be pushed ahead when they are going down and I wish him all the best and I hope he wins lots of matches for India,” he added.

The out-of-favour southpaw has made a comeback to the Indian team as he has been included in the 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match T20 series against Australia. However, the stylish batsman was not selected for the five-match ODI series, starting from January 12. Yuvraj last played a T20I for India in

Yuvraj last played a T20I for India was the ICC WT20 2014 final in Bangladesh, a match that India lost by six wickets. Yograj Singh was in the news after the 2015 World Cup having blasted skipper MS Dhoni for his son’s exclusion from the Indian squad.
