Yuvraj Confirms Engagement, Says Hazel Keech 'Reflection of His Mother'

Yuvraj Confirms Engagement, Says Hazel Keech 'Reflection of His Mother'

Three days after news came of Yuvraj Singh getting engaged to British-born actress Hazel Keech in Bali, the star cricketer officially accepted that the news was true, for the first time, on Sunday.

Yuvraj, who is playing in a Ranji Trophy match against Baroda and picked one wicket for 32 on Sunday, tweeted a picture of the couple.

He said that he has found a 'friend for life' in Hazel, adding that his mother Shabnam saw her reflection in her would-be daughter-in-law.

The 2011 World Cup-winning player, who is a veteran of 293 ODIs, 40 Tests and 40 T20Is, is having a lean patch in the Ranji Trophy. Barring a 187 against Gujarat last month, Yuvraj has not been able to score a single half-century in Ranji Trophy this season. On the bowling front, he has picked only four wickets in five matches so far.

Yuvraj, who last played a Test in 2012 and an ODI in 2013, is currently out of favour when it comes to national team selection. The emergence of younger spinning all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel hasn't helped matters either.

Yograj Singh, Yuvraj's father, said he was sure that Hazel would bring good luck to his son's life. The wedding of the star couple is likely to be held in February, next year.
