After making his way back into the T20 squad, Yuvraj Singh expressed his disappointment of not making it to the ODI squad as well for the series against Australia, starting on January 12 in Perth.
"To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed that I am back only in the T20I squad, not for the ODIs. However, there's happiness that I'm back after quite a while. The disappointment is personal and I hope I'm not misunderstood and that nothing at all is taken out of context," Yuvraj told The Telegraph.
Yuvraj, who has been in excellent form in the ongoing Vijay Hazare trophy scoring 341 runs at an average of 85.25 in five matches for Punjab, also talked about the challenges of playing in Australia.(Read: There’s always pressure to come back: Yuvraj Singh)
"Yes, conditions in Australia are challenging and the T20 format is even more demanding. It's such a compressed affair that there's little time to adjust. The 20-over game isn't easy," he said.
The flashy southpaw expressed his desire to prove himself and also hoped for support from his team-mates on and off the field.
"I have the confidence to try and do my best in the opportunities I get. The dressing room needs to have belief in me. I'm sure I'll get the support I need," he said.
Yuvraj, who last played for India in the final of the ICC 2014 World Twenty 20 in Bangladesh, will be closely watched in the T20s down-under with the next edition of T20 World cup around the corner.
