India’s 2011 World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh has reportedly got engaged to model-actress Hazel Keech in Bali, says a report in The Hindu, adding that the private life of the 33-year-old all-rounder, who is currently not in the national team, has been a subject of speculation after Hazel accompanied him to the wedding of his teammate Harbhajan Singh recently.
“The 28-year-old British-born Hazel has acted in a few Hindi movies besides doing TV commercials. Despite the media speculation, Yuvraj has denied talk of marriage, which is reportedly set for February next year,” says the report.
As per media reports, the couple will tie the knot in a traditional ceremony at the Hansaliwale Gurdwara in Fatehgarh Sahib near Chandigarh.
Yuvraj was Player of Tournament in the 2011 World Cup before his career took a hit due to a cancerous tumour in his left lung for which he underwent chemotherapy treatment in the U.S.
Meanwhile a report in Hindustan Times says that Yuvraj, who had made headlines for dating many Bollywood actors previously, hinted towards his engagement during a conversation with cricketer Harbhajan Singh , who married actor Geeta Basra last month.
On being congratulated by Yuvraj , Harbhajan tweeted, “@YUVSTRONG12 u should also come in a line and play straight now. No cut pull.” Yuvraj responded and said, “Yes Mr. Harbhajan Singh from Diwali onwards I’m going to play straight.”
