AB de Villiers is keen to come back: Faf du Plessis

Port Elizabeth: South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis on Wednesday hinted that batting great AB de Villiers could possibly return to the national side ahead of the World T20, scheduled to be held in Australia later this year.

A few days back de Villiers, who retired from all forms of international cricket in 2018, arrived in Australia to make his debut in the Big Bash League (BBL) and said he was keen to make a return. de Villiers had tried to come out of it ahead of the 2019 World Cup, making himself available for selection. However, Cricket South Africa (CSA) selectors felt it was too late.

Speaking on the eve of South Africa’s third Test against England, du Plessis said: “It’s the same as what I mentioned before. We spoke and I was very keen to have him back even before the new coaching staff was on board.”

“It was a process of what does the next year look like in terms of T20 cricket,” he added. IANS
