They took to Twitter to make the announcement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The tweet from the official twitter account read: &quot;For all #YuvrajSingh fans! ??<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>#TorontoNationals get @YUVSTRONG12 for #GT2019.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yuvraj had sought the Board of Control for Cricket in India&#39;s (BCCI) permission to play in foreign T20 leagues following his retirement from international cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking to IANS, a senior BCCI official had confirmed the development. &quot;A couple of T20 leagues are interested to have him participate in their tournaments and Yuvraj has asked for the BCCI&#39;s nod before moving with the idea of playing in T20 leagues as a freelance cricketer,&quot; the official had said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Last week, the 37-year-old announced his retirement. He had also confirmed that he would not be participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL) but expressed his wish to play in foreign T20 leagues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;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&#39;s been too stressful just thinking about my international career, performing and big tournaments like the IPL,&quot; the 2011 World Cup hero had said at his retirement event in Mumbai on June 11.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With a career that spanned over 304 ODIs, 58 T20s and 40 Tests, Yuvraj imprinted his place in the echelons of cricket as a player who could pretty much win matches for his side either through his electric fielding, deceiving bowling or fierce batting.<\/p>\r\n",
