Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag on Friday backed star left-hander Yuvraj Sigh to make a comeback into the national side. However, he accepted that Yuvraj needs to perform in domestic cricket and pass the fitness tests to make the cut for India’s limited-overs cricket team.
“He’s not in the Indian team, but Yuvraj is still an amazing player. His talent is intact. Even a current India player can lose form. I don’t think we’ll get a player like him again. If his form his good, he’s a match-winner,” he said.
“That’s up to the selectors. If he performs in domestic cricket, or passes (yoyo), then why not? If Ashish Nehra can make a comeback at 36, why not Yuvi,” he added.
However, he opined differently on his IPL future, particularly as a star player.
“The moment you get dropped from India (the national squad), prices drop which we have seen in a lot of players. Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir, Harbhajan Singh – (since) they are not playing for India, they did not get (Rs) 10 or 12 crore,” he concluded.
