Yuvraj backs English IPL involvement

India batsman Yuvraj Singh tells BBC Sport that English players would improve in the short form of the game by playing in the Indian Premier League, in particular all-rounder Ben Stokes who would "fetch a couple of million" in the IPL auction if he elected to play.

England's Ben Stokes could earn "millions" when he enters the Indian Premier League auction, says India batsman Yuvraj Singh.
The auction for the 20-over franchise competition is scheduled to be held in Bangalore on Monday, 20 February.
When asked how much Stokes was worth, Yuvraj, who went for a record £1.6m in 2015, said: "A couple of million.
"He's a quality hitter, fast bowler and fielder. He'll definitely get the big bucks. He brings a lot to the table."
Yuvraj, 35, has lined up against Stokes, 25, in the recent one-day and Twenty20 series between India and England, and has enjoyed watching England's talisman close up.
