New Delhi, Sept. 25 -- Yuvraj Singh's father, Yograj Singh, has stirred discussion with a surprising comment about his son's marriage. He said he wanted his son to marry a foreigner.

In a YouTube chat with Krishnank Atrey, Yograj recalled how society pushed him to marry Yuvraj in his 20s. Yograj resisted.

"He can't take care of himself. How can he care for his wife!" Yograj said.

"Men should get married only after 40. 99.9% of players who get married in their 20s are divorced," he added.

The former cricketer believed his son should focus on his game first. When Yuvraj was nearing 40, Yograj told him it was time to choose his partner. He said he would not choose a partner for his son. He asked Yuvraj to find a partner on his own.
