Yuvraj Singh played his last match for India on June 30, 2017, against West Indies before getting dropped from the side. Selectors ignored him for World Cup 2019 which he eagerly wanted to play. After that, in June 2019, he decided to retire from international cricket and IPL so he could be eligible to play T20 leagues outside India.
Why Yuvraj Is Unhappy With BCCI?
After retirement, Yuvraj Singh had blamed selectors for not picking him despite clearing Yo-Yo test. Yuvraj said, “I got injured and I was told to prepare for the Sri Lanka series. Then suddenly, the yo-yo test came into the picture. It was a u-turn in my selection. Suddenly I had to go back and prepare for the yo-yo test at the age of 36. Even after I cleared the yo-yo test, they told me to play domestic cricket,”
