Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh was ecstatic and at the same time honoured after he received a letter from PM Modi applauding his charity work through the YouWeCan Foundation.
"It's an absolute honour & privilege for all of us here at Youwecan to receive such an encouraging letter from Hon'ble Shri @narendramodi ji himself. We at @youwecan strongly believe that each one of us together can change the world and it's not what you've got, it’s what you use that makes a difference. There is no greater reward than making someone else's life better and making a difference in the world," Yuvi said in an Instagram post.
The YouWeCan Foundation aims to fight Cancer by spreading awareness about the deadly disease as he himself suffered and made a remarkable recovery from the disease.
Yuvi was dropped from India’ one-day international squad for the five-match series in Sri Lanka. The reason for his exclusion was that the left handed batsman failed various fitness test ahead of the team selection.
A senior BCCI official, who is privy to selection policy said that Yuvraj is no longer in contention for the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales. Yuvraj has scored over 8000 runs in 304 ODIs, apart from playing 40 Tests and 58 T20 Internationals
