New Delhi, September 9 : Only a year after announcing retirement from cricket, Yuvraj Singh could soon make his comeback. It has been reported that Yuvraj has decided to come out of retirement to play domestic cricket for Punjab.
Cricket is currently halted in India due to Covid-19 but Yuvraj was practicing with Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Prabhsimran Singh and Anmolpreet Singh at the PCA Stadium in Mohali for the last few months.
During the practice session, it looks like Yuvraj has rediscovered his passion for cricket and now wants to play for Punjab in the T20 tournament to help the youngster in their development.
“Initially, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to take up the offer,” Yuvraj told Cricbuzz.
“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. “But who knows, let’s see.”
There were reports that Yuvraj was seeking a club to play in the Australian Big Bash League. But now he has confirmed that if he plays for Punjab, he will not be seeking opportunities to play in overseas leagues. He has written a letter to BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah to seek permission to play for Punjab and come out of retirement. (Source : Hindustan Times)
