Former Team India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh went for a sly dig at the Indian selectors when asked about MS Dhoni’s future with the Indian cricket team on Monday during a media interaction. A lot has been said ever since Dhoni has opted to go on a lengthy sabbatical from all forms of cricket. From his gloomy future with Team India to speculations about calling time on a glorious career, the name of the former Indian skipper has surfaced in almost every second debate as far as the current Indian cricket scenario is concerned.
Yuvraj was asked about the same and the former Team India great came up with a cryptic response.
“I don’t know boss. You should ask your great selectors, when you meet them. That’s their call, not mine,” Yuvraj was quoted as saying, reports news agency PTI.
The Indian southpaw also cited Glenn Maxwell’s example while endorsing a players’ association.
“We deserve it. Because there are a lot of times we have been asked to play cricket that we don’t want to. We have to play with the pressure that if we don’t play we will be thrown out,” Yuvraj told reporters.
“That pressure has to go off the players that even if they are tired or fatigued or carrying injuries, they have to play. That support should be given to the players. We see outside India, if players are fatigued and tired mentally, like is the case with (Glenn) Maxwell, he has taken a break because he is feeling it,” he added.
