The Punjab-born cricketer had announced his retirement from international cricket with an intention of taking part in various international T20 leagues around the world. He had written to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) seeking permission to allow him to play in the leagues.
The former Indian all-rounder, who was awarded Man of the Tournament in the 2011 World Cup, played for Mumbai Indians in the last edition of the Indian Premier League earlier this year. He will now play in the second edition of the cricket league in Canada which is scheduled to begin from July 25 in Brampton. The final of the T20 tournament will be played on August 11.
