Maratha Arabians

DUBAI: Former India batsman Yuvraj Singh was on Thursday named Maratha Arabians' icon player for the upcoming Abu Dhabi T10 tournament, which will be his second appearance in a franchise-based competition since taking international retirement in June.

Yuvraj retired from international cricket earlier this year and is not bound by the BCCI’s rules about active players not being able to play in leagues outside the country.

Following his retirement, the 37-year-old had captained Toronto Nationals in Global T20 Canada in July-August.
