"Don't want to leave the game with any regret"
On being probed about when he plans to retire Yuvraj said, "I don't want to leave the game with any regret, thinking I should have played for some more years. I want to go when I feel it is the right time, when I feel I have done my best." He added that he still plays because he enjoys playing cricket.
Career in numbers
