"It is difficult to comment because Indian cricket have their own set of regulations."

"But to have Yuvraj involved in T10 and to have youngsters being able to play with him, he has been a fantastic cricketer for 20-odd years and he has got so much to add value to. It is just great having him around and there is no doubt that youngsters will look to feed off him."

Hashim Amla also brought and end to his illustrious international career after RSA's exit from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 and says he is very much "excited" for this new start of his career.

"The first few editions have been spoken of very highly and I am excited to be a part of it and see how it progresses and different skills it allows you to bring to the table," Amla added.
