Would have been a huge shame had Royals not played IPL: Watson

Rajasthan Royals has had a controversial tenure in their six seasons in the Indian Premier League but their new captain Shane Watson feels it would have been a "shame" if the champions of the inaugural year were barred from playing in the seventh edition of the cash-rich tournament.
"Personally for me, it would be a huge shame if Rajasthan wasn't playing this IPL because I certainly love every moment I've spent there since it started," said Watson during a pre-match media interaction of Australia's 'dead-rubber' against minnows Bangladesh.
"But as I have said, we (RR) have been kicked out before so you never know how things will pan out but we are on the right side again, thank God. I've always been confident things will work out well in the end, which it seems to have worked out that way," he added.

Since Australia are already out of the tournament, topics like IPL and Yuvraj Singh dominated the discussions more than their match against Bangladesh.
"Yuvraj was always going to take a bit of time to get going. He obviously hadn't scored any runs in the first couple of games but I've seen Yuvraj take us apart at certain times since I was 18 (referring to the 2000 U-19 World Cup)," said Watson.
"Playing against Yuvraj, when he is on, he hits the ball in all different spots. He gave himself a bit of time to get in and then picked his bowlers to be able to take on," he added referring to Yuvraj's 43-ball 60-run innings which gave India a huge 73-run victory.
