In franchise cricket, it always gets tough as you get old: Yuvraj Singh
Meanwhile, on the other hand, the former Mumbai Indians player in the IPL has spoken about the captaincy change from Rohit Sharma to Hardik Pandya.
“In franchise cricket, it always gets tough as you get old. Every franchise is always looking to promote a young player on whom they have spent a lot, and that is only fair. I have faced this situation too. But then, there can’t be a replacement for experience. Rohit has huge experience and has delivered. But a franchise has to think long term,” Yuvraj told the Times of India.
