Road Safety World Series 2021: Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan make fans nostalgic; see picture

Almost a year after it was scrapped due to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, the Road Safety World Series 2021 will get underway on March 5, 2021. The tournament will restart where it left off last year, from the 5th match of the series. There will be one major change to the contest, however, as the Australian Legends squad will be replaced by the England and Bangladesh Legends sides. Owing to the increase in COVID-19 cases in Maharashtra, the venue for the tournament has also been moved to the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium, Raipur.
