The middle-order batsman said his first academy will come up in Noida and that he plans to open the second one in Lucknow.1 "It is a great moment for me and I have been planning to open an academy for a long time. The first will come up in Noida. I want to give back something to the game that gave me everything in life," Yuvraj told IANS.
Yuvraj said special attention will be given to fielding skills.
"People still expect me to field as a 20-year-old boy now and it is tough. I am 29 now and body does get a bit slow. So I can be a good fielder but I can't be an exceptional fielder. I am still trying, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
"I would try to pass on the same message to the youngsters as well," said Yuvraj.
