According to tournament chairman Shaji Ul Mulk, former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh is currently being eyed to join the league. The chairman said that an announcement regarding the cricketer will be made soon as final negotiations between the governing body and the star all-rounder are completed. Yuvraj Singh, who announced his retirement earlier this year, is eligible to participate in the tournament because of BCCI’s policy. The policy indicates that only retired Indian cricketers can compete in leagues outside India.
