5 reasons why the non-selection of Yuvraj Singh is justified

Yuvraj Singh
This massive backlift is no longer the same

Yuvraj Singh
Mitchell Johnson was all over Yuvraj back in 2013

Back in 2013, when Yuvraj was making a comeback into the team, he was found out by a rampaging Mitchell Johnson who kept hurling bouncers at him and invariably Yuvraj would fend at it and perish in the process.

He has not got any younger in these years and the reflexes would have slowed down. Thus, it would not be justifiable to accept results from him against nasty fast bowling, particularly now when teams study the opposition batsmen ever so minutely.

Hence, there is no point bringing Yuvraj back when his weaknesses and vulnerabilities are so well documented.
