Singh comes up with an interesting revelation.

Yuvraj Singh said in the press conference in Mumbai, ” I was told. If you cannot pass the Yo-Yo test, then you could play a retirement match. I said I do not want a retirement match and if I do not pass the Yo-Yo test, I would go home. I passed the Yo-Yo test and the rest is not my call”.
