Yuvraj Singh to come out of retirement
Former Team India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh had announced his retirement from international cricket in 2019. Since then, the left-handed batter has played in the Road Safety World Series, Global T20 League and Abu Dhabi T10 league. Yuvraj Singh on Tuesday took to Instagram and made an announcement that he is looking forward to be back on the cricket field in February.
He didn’t reveal the name of the tournament. He urged the fans to keep supporting the Virat Kohli-led team, who have two consecutive matches in the ongoing ICC T20 World CUP.
“God decides your destiny !! On public demand, ill be back on the pitch hopefully in February! Ain’t nothing like this feeling! Thank you for your love and wishes. Mean a lot to me! Keep supporting India. It’s our team and a true fan will show his or her support in tough times #JaiHind,” he captioned a video on Twitter.
Here’s the video:
Yuvraj represented India in 40 Tests, 304 ODIs and 58 T20Is, scoring more than 10,000 runs across formats.
He gave an emotional speech while announcing his retirement.
“After 25 years, I have decided to move on. Cricket has given me everything and is the reason why I stand here today. I was extremely lucky to play 400 games for India. I could have never imagined it when I first started playing cricket,” he had said.
