Despite Yuvraj Singh’s wishes, coming out of retirement might not be a cakewalk for him.

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.
