Yuvraj Singh, one of India’s greatest cricket icons and a 2011 World Cup-winner, formally inaugurated the Yuvraj Singh Centres of Excellence & Merlin Group’s High-performance Centre for cricket enthusiasts at Merlin Rise, the Sports Republic at Rajarhat in Kolkata.

In an exclusive interview with India Today and Aaj Tak during the event, Yuvraj said that the coaching centre will be beneficial for the upcoming superstars who want to pursue cricket as a profession in the field of sports.

"I am not a decision maker. I think Rohit and Virat are great players. But, in the T20s, youngsters are doing really well. Fearlessness is important. When we won the first T20 World Cup, our team was fearless. That's important, especially in T20Is. Important decisions have to be taken, so experience also matters. A good team should have a mix of youth and experience. It's important to have a very good captain. Whether Hardik will lead the team or not, whether Rohit will lead, it's not my decision. Rohit has been a fantastic captain for India in the IPL. That's the selector's call."
