Yuvraj Singh Set To Play Domestic Cricket For Punjab
By: Tupaki Desk | 10 Sep 2020 5:23 AM GMT
Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh is all set to come out of retirement and represent his state side Punjab in domestic cricket.
Yuvraj had announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in June 2019. According to reports, PCA secretary Puneet Bali approached the 38-year-old player with an offer to come out of retirement for the benefit of Punjab cricket.
The hero of the 2011 World Cup triumph had been working and mentoring talented youngsters like Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Prabhsimran Singh, and Anmolpreet Singh from Punjab at the PCA Stadium in Mohali – for some time.
"I was done with domestic cricket, though I did want to continue to play in other domestic franchise-based leagues worldwide if I got permission from the BCCI. But I also couldn’t ignore Mr Bali's request. I gave it a lot of thought, for nearly three or four weeks, and it was almost as if I didn’t even have to make a conscious decision in the end. As things stand now, I will be playing only T20s if I get the nod," Yuvraj said.
