Yuvraj Singh, who played his last international game back in July 2017, announced his retirement last year. However, PCA secretary Punit Bali approached the all-rounder for the dual role owing to many young players in the state team. The offer ignited Yuvraj to make a comeback, and he wrote to the Indian cricket board, seeking permission to play domestic matches for Punjab. As of now, the southpaw has only agreed to play T20Is but could also play the other formats based on his fitness. Meanwhile, let’s look at how netizens reacted to the dasher’s comeback announcement.

Despite Yuvraj Singh’s wishes, coming out of retirement might not be a cakewalk for him. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) demands players’ retirement to give NOC for playing in foreign leagues. After announcing retirement, the dashing all-rounder featured in two such leagues - the Global T20 Canada and Abu Dhabi T10 League. Hence, it will be interesting to see whether Yuvraj will take the field again or not.
