Now that it looks like the India vs England Test series is back on, Yuvraj Singh can start looking forward to trying to fill Ganguly’s shoes.
Singh was in impressive form during the One Day series, and the retirement of Ganguly leaves a slot open in which he can establish himself. With a few more retirements of ageing superstars looking reasonably likely over the next couple of years, India badly need their One Day stars to graduate to Test level, and Yuvraj is by far the most prominent of the limited overs dynamos who haven’t managed to make a name for themselves yet in the longer form.
This could be his big chance.
