WILL CONTINUE PLAYING IPL, SAYS AB DE VILLIERS

On May 23 this year, cricketers and fans were left shocked and devastated after South African batsman AB de Villiers announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket. The 34-year-old took to Twitter to announce that he had “run out of gas” after having played 114 Tests, 228 One-Day Internationals (ODI) and 78 T20 Internationals.

The former South African captain, however, didn’t clarify on whether he will continue to play in the Indian Premier League and other professional tournaments. Now, in an interview with iol.co.za, he said, “I will keep on playing IPL for a few years, and I would like to play for the Titans, and help some of the youngsters. But there are no set plans. I haven’t been able to say that for a long time.”

The star cricketer also added, “There are some offers on the table from around the world, but it will be nice to wake up and wonder what to do; to be normal.”
