South Africa stalwart AB de Villiers, whom fans want to watch in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2020, suggests that IPL 2020 remains his focus for now. Mr. 360 said that the comeback is not on his mind as he is focused on the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League at the moment.
“Let’s wait and see what happens. My focus is on the Indian Premier League at the moment, and helping Royal Challengers Bangalore realise our full potential. Then we will sit down and have a look at the rest of the year and see what is possible,” said AB de Villiers to news agency IANS.
“Each player must consider his own circumstances and make his own decision. I reached a point where I wanted to see more of my wife and two young sons, and seek a reasonable balance between family and cricket. The mental and physical demands on the leading players are massive these days, but each player must decide what he can and can’t do,” he added.
The head coach of South Africa men’s side, Mark Boucher had earlier confirmed that the player and Cricket South Africa were in talks.
“He’s a discussion in the media and in the public but he is no discussion for me. I have had chats with him and we will probably know pretty soon what’s going to happen with him,” Boucher quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
