Mumbai: India’s 2011 World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh called a media interaction at a plush South Mumbai hotel on Monday, and announced his retirement from international cricket.
One of India’s greatest limited overs cricketers, Yuvraj had been seriously contemplating retirement in past some months from international cricket and pursue a freelance career in ICC approved foreign Twenty20 leagues.
A senior BCCI official had recently told that Yuvraj was thinking of calling it quits from international and first class cricket. “He would like to speak to the BCCI and get more clarity on plying his trade in tournaments like GT20 (Canada), Euro T20 Slam in Ireland and Holland as he has offers,” a BCCI source privy to the development had said earlier.
Yuvraj last played a Test in 2012 and ODI and T20 in 2017.
