Yuvraj axed from Indian team

Yuvraj has been dropped from the Indian team mainly due to the lack of fitness. Yuvi is totally out of form and of late his fitness has been big concern.Yuvraj has gained weight and has started fielding in the deep positions and not in is usual point position.Yuvraj is just averaging 24 in his last 11 innings and for a player of his caliber that is very low.

Yuvraj was totally off color in IPL season also and selectors have axed him t just warn him. I personally feel that he will be back in to the squad for the World Cup.I also feel that Yuvraj should improve his fitness and make a strong statement to the team selectors.

Yuvraj was very angry when the reporters asked about whether he and Sangakkara had a rift and that is degrading the performance of the team. Yuvraj was very angry and replied you cannot write anything that you wish and every player is out of form and he told there is absolutely no problem between himself and Sangakkara.Well the entire picture behind Yuvraj Singh and Sangakkara fight episode is still not out that is my opinion.
