BANGALORE, Dec 8: A majestic century against Pakistan may have backed his claims for a permanent Test slot, but Yuvraj Singh on Saturday conceded that he still had some distance to cover before he can cement his place in the star-studded batting line-up.

“It’s difficult to get a chance in Tests because my team has lot of great players like Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman. They all have a good Test record. That’s why I had to sit out,” Yuvraj said in a press chat on Saturday.

“We just need to think of winning this match now and after this we have to think of what combination is needed for the Australian tour. There also I may have to sit out.”

Yuvraj though sounded confident that he has the ability to make a mark in Tests. “For me Test cricket is always the main thing. So I’m very happy with my effort today,” he said.—Agencies
