AB de Villiers has confirmed that talks have been held for him to return for South Africa in the World T20.
De Villiers is hailed as cricket's Superman and he quit all formats in 2018 to spend more time with family.
But now he wants to make a comeback.
¡°There¡¯s a lot that needs to happen before that becomes reality, but I would love to,¡± he said.
¡°I¡¯ve been talking to Bouch, Graeme Smith and Faf (Du Plessis) back home. We are all keen to make it happen, it¡¯s a long way away still and plenty can happen ¨C there¡¯s the IPL (Indian Premier League) coming.
¡°I¡¯ve still got to be in form at that time. But I¡¯m thinking of throwing my name in the hat and hoping everything will work out,¡± he added.
Make no mistake, he will have to earn his place back in the side. He is a great player but since he left others have taken his place.
So he should not be a walk-in. But should he make it back, fans will be waiting in anticipation for the tournament which begins on October 18.
