"I enjoy playing cricket and it was always my passion as a young kid. So, as long as I am enjoying it, I want to play," Yuvraj told mediapersons ahead of their Ranji Trophy group league encounter against Mumbai.
"I just want to play and enjoy my cricket. If I get an opportunity to come back and play for India, I would look forward to that. But these are the games, which will give me opportunity to come back so I am trying my best," said the stylish left-handed batsman.
"A World Cup is a World Cup, whether it is T20 or 50 overs. It's always an honour to play another World Cup. (But) I am not thinking so far ahead, I am just thinking (about it) game by game, how my game is going and how I can improve. So that's what my target is," he explained.
