Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has advised the team management to provide Yashasvi Jaiswal with a longer run in the ODI setup before the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. He expressed concerns that a lack of match practice could lead to immense pressure on the young opener during the tournament. Yuvraj highlighted the importance of ensuring reserve players like Jaiswal are adequately prepared for major events.
Yuvraj emphasized the need for Jaiswal to have more game time before the World Cup, especially considering his recent performances. He pointed out that unexpected injuries can lead to last-minute changes, potentially exposing inexperienced players to high-pressure situations. Yuvraj stressed the significance of learning from past mistakes to avoid similar issues in the upcoming World Cup.
Despite Jaiswal’s impressive performances in recent ODIs, he has not been a regular starter as India continues to finalize their combinations for the World Cup. Yuvraj’s remarks come amidst discussions on India’s squad composition post the ODI series against England. The cricketer highlighted the importance of strategic planning and adequate opportunities for young talents like Jaiswal to thrive on the international stage.
