5 reasons why Yuvraj Singh's omission is justified

#3 No longer a good all-rounder

The thing that might have most affected Yuvraj’s cause was the fact that he is no longer a good all-rounder. If you think of the Yuvraj of old, at the peak of his career, he was a man with the golden arm who could always give the crucial breakthrough.

World Cup 2011 was won largely due to the contributions of Yuvraj who bowled as well as he batted throughout the tournament. He scored match-winning runs in the middle order and gave the team crucial breakthroughs in the middle overs.

Yuvraj the bowler seems to be long gone now as ever since his return, he has hardly rolled his arm over. Looking ahead, a 35-year old who is out of form and inconsistent with the bat, but plays as a pure batsman in the middle order was always going to be a bit of a luxury.
