Kapil Dev slams Yuvraj’s partying habits

Kapil Dev slammed Test discard Yuvraj Singh for attending late night parties instead of focussing on cricket.

Former India captain Kapil Dev slammed Test discard Yuvraj Singh for attending late night parties instead of focussing on cricket.

“He (Yuvraj) should focus on cricket and work hard … he must exhibit his talent at a proper place rather than elsewhere,” Kapil said at a ‘Meet the Press’ programme here when asked about Yuvraj’s party habit.

Drawing parallels between Yuvraj and his father Yograj Singh, a former Test Cricketer, Kapil said, “If Yuvraj devotes even 50 per cent of the hard work that his father put in, no one can stop him from remaining in the (Test) team.”

“He (Yuvraj) is a talented player. But he should spend more time on ground and remain focus to the game,” said the country’s only World Cup-winning captain.

“He is a young player … I can understand that a player of his age do have lot of courage,” he added.

On BCCI’s love for foreign coaches, Kapil said, “I think the board has become smart … the country has no dearth of good players who can become good coach.”
