Cricket South Africa has asked AB de Villiers “to lead the national side indeed” however the top form batsman guaranteed that he is in high structure when the opportunity arrives for wearing the national hues. De Villiers, a hazardous batsman, reported his retirement from all types of global cricket in May 2018 however generally there has been discussions of an impending return in the national group. “The longing is there from my side to play for South Africa and has been asked by Cricket South Africa to lead the Proteas once more,” the 36-year-old De Villiers, who played 114 Tests, 228 ODIs and 78 T20s, said during Star Sports show ‘Cricket Connected’.
In any case, the previous skipper said that he would possibly make a rebound if he feels that he is sufficient to play at the worldwide level even though he has been an ordinary on establishment circuit.
“The most significant thing to me is that I must be in top structure and I must be better than the player close to me. On the off chance that I believe I merit my spot in the side, it turns out to be a lot simpler for me to feel that I ought to be a piece of the playing XI,” he said.
“I have not been a piece of the Proteas for some time, and I feel that it’s significant for myself and for others to see that I am still sufficient to be there,” he said.
South Africa mentor Mark Boucher had before said that De Villiers would be considered in the national group for the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia just on the off chance that he demonstrates the magnificent structure and demonstrates himself to be the “most ideal man for the activity”.
Be that as it may, in the wake of COVID-19, De Villiers is as yet not confident when the next round of cricket will be played.
“Be that as it may, with the infection going around, I don’t have a clue about what will occur with the timetable,” he closed down.
