Ind vs Eng: ‘To save Test cricket …’, Yograj Singh made this big demand after Rohit-Virat’s retirement from Test cricket
Yograj Singh on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Test Retirement: Former India cricketer Yograj Singh said that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should withdraw their decision to save the country’s red -ball cricket. Due to Rohit and Kohli’s retirement, the upcoming England tour will miss the team’s most senior batsmen, where India has to play a five -match Test series starting from June 20. Apart from his son Yuvraj Singh, 67 -year -old Yograj Singh has given coaching to current players like Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, he said that Kohli has more years to give cricket to cricket.
Yograj told ‘IANS’ on Tuesday, “Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should return from retirement to save Indian Test cricket. This is not the time to think about himself – this time is about the deep feelings of the country, fans and people towards sports. Virat has at least ten years of cricket, as far as Rohit is concerned, I will ensure that I will be fully fit, I will ensure that I will ensure that I will ensure that I will be fully fit. Go.”
This experienced cricketer said that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) should cooperate in their difficult times so that the players do not bow down to the rising pressure. “In 2011, players like Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Virender Sehwag were dropped from the team without any clear reason. When Yuvraj retired, I rebuked him – I asked him not to come under pressure. He was incredibly fit and still is. Cricketers should struggle for their place instead of bowing in front of external pressures.
He said, “BCCI should act like a parent, protect and support its players, ego or politics should not be allowed to decide.”
Yograj said that he called his son Yuvraj and asked Kohli not to retire from Test cricket so that he would not have to regret later. “I told Yuvi to call Virat and say to him, ‘Don’t make the same mistake’. I am sure that they (Rohit and Virat) will look back and regret after a few years. Because one day, despair will essentially come out – but what would it mean then? ‘
