AB de Villiers to lead South Africa again in WCL 2025
The 41-year-old, who called it quits from international cricket in November 2021, will return to helm but this time for South Africa legends. The Protean will be leding the Game Changers South Africa Champions in the second edition of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025, set to start from July 18.
"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. So I am heading back to the gym and the nets, and I'll be ready for WCL in July," the South African legend said in a post shared on his social media handles.
