Yuvraj had said that Yo-Yo Test was used as an excuse to deny him a place in the national cricket team.

Singh announced his retirement from international cricket this year.

Thank u the best .. u have won India world cups .. time to do good things for the game now .. u r my super star .. god bless always

In his reply, Ganguly tweeted: " Thank u the best .. u have won India world cups .. time to do good things for the game now .. u r my super star .. god bless always."

Yuvraj had made his international cricket debut under the leadership of Ganguly in 2000.

He then went on to become one of the biggest ODI and T20 players of the country.

He played a crucial role in India's World Cup victory in 2011 and the World T20 triumph in 2007.

Ganguly is set to take over as BCCI President next week.

What is Yo Yo Test?
It is a test that is used to measure the fitness of players.
