Former Indian all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh has decided to come out of retirement and wrote a letter to BCCI.
The Player of the Tournament at the 2011 World Cup, the Veteran Indians all-rounder had announced his retirement last year in June.
“Initially, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to take up the offer,” Yuvraj was quoted as saying by 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.”
“I know he has written a letter to BCCI president Sourav Ganguly wanting to come out of retirement,” he revealed.
“We want him in the team and the way he mentored four young boys Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Prabh Simran Singh and Anmolpreet Singh was exceptional. I told him that please give at least one more year of your life to Punjab cricket,” he said.
“He is coming back (from Dubai) in a couple of days time and then we are going to have a long chat around all of this. Whatever you are hearing must be true,” Shabnam told PTI.
“He is a giver. In these times, in scorching heat, he trained Shubman, Prabh and Abhishek for five hours each day.
“The way he hit sixes at the new PCA stadium in Mullanpur, everyone wanted him to come back. If he plays at least three years for Punjab, he will give back at two 2 world-class players to Indian cricket. So he must play.”
