Yuvraj Singh confirms his plans of making a comeback to the Punjab team. He said one big factor in his decision was his motivation to win trophies for Punjab with Harbhajan Singh.

He has agreed to make a comeback to play for Punjab in the upcoming domestic season and has written a letter to BCCI President Sourav Ganguly asking the board�s permission to come out of retirement.

Yuvraj had been asked to return to the Punjab team in a player-cum-mentor role, as had been earlier reported. Earlier this year, Yuvraj had spent a training camp with several young batsmen from the Punjab team like Shubman Gill and Anmolpreet Singh.

�I was done with domestic cricket, though I did want to continue to play in other domestic franchise-based leagues worldwide if I got permission from the BCCI. But I also couldn�t ignore (Punjab Cricket Association secretary) Mr Bali�s request. I gave it a lot of thought, for nearly three or four weeks, and it was almost as if I didn�t even have to make a conscious decision in the end,�Yuvraj told .
