“As you get older people start talking about your age and they forget about your for. These guys have been great players for India, and they deserve to go (retire) when they want,” Yuvraj, told ICC.
“I would like to see more younger players in the T20 format because it gets the load off them (experienced players) playing 50-over (ODIs) and Test matches. After this (T20) World Cup I would like to see a lot of younger guys come into the team and make the T20 side for the next World Cup,” he added.
