Yuvraj Singh pledges to support cricket in Canada after he is signed up by Toronto Nationals
Yuvraj Singh will turn out in the Global T20 League next month - a tournament organized by Canada.
Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh has signed up for Toronto Nationals for the second season of the Global T20 League that is held in Canada. The tournament is set to begin from July 25.
In a video posted on Twitter, the left-hander promised to do his best to support the sport in the country.
“I am really looking forward to visiting Canada and play in season 2 of the Global T20 tournament. I was impressed with the action last year and I am looking forward to playing with the local Canadians and the international stars. I will do my very best to support cricket in Canada. So, Toronto here I come,” Yuvraj said.
Earlier, it was uncertain whether Yuvraj could play in the league after the BCCI had barred all Indian to play in overseas T20 events. Yuvraj, who announced his retirement on June 10 this month, wrote to the BCCI to seek permission and had stated that he wanted to play in international leagues for fun.
"I want to play T20 cricket. At this age I can manage to play some kind of fun cricket. I want to go and enjoy my life. It's been too stressful just thinking about my international career, performing and big tournaments like the IPL," the 37-year-old had said during his retirement press conference.
