Yuvraj, Gambhir disappointed to miss out on ICC World Cup

The Indian selectors preferred young talents over experienced pros such as Yuvraj, Harbhajan Singh, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan and Gambhir. “It was disappointing at not being picked for the World Cup. It’s a decision which you can’t help,” Yuvraj said at a cricket conclave. The all-rounder said his main focus now was to score as many runs as possible for his state side Punjab in the domestic tournaments. “At the moment, I am focusing on the Ranji Trophy and putting in my best efforts to make a come back.”

Opener Gambhir expressed said he still has the hunger to score runs and succeed at cricket’s highest level. “I play cricket to score runs and win matches. I am still passionate about winning matches for India, my state team Delhi or any T20 franchise. I am disappointed at not being part of the team for this WC,” Gambhir said.
