Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today offered to allot 20 acres of land near Chandigarh to star cricketer Yuvraj Singh for setting up of a world-class sports academy.
The offer was made when Yuvraj and his mother Shabnam Singh called on the Chief Minister at his residence. Badal enquired about Yuvraj’s well-being and wished him speedy recovery.
In 2008, the Haryana Government had given 23 acres of land near Jhajjar on lease to star cricketer Virender Sehwag for setting up a cricket academy and an international school.
