“Four years ago, I retired from all cricket because I just didn’t feel the urge to play anymore. Well, time has passed, and my young sons have started playing the game. We’ve been playing more and more often in the garden, and, well, it feels as though some kind of flame has been lit again,” said De Villiers about his return to cricket.
“So I am heading back to the gym and the nets, and I’ll be ready for WCL in July,” he added.
