Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers, who will be returning to the field for the upcoming edition of the Mzansi Super League, has expressed excitement over his comeback.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old, while admitting that he is still in the process of getting back into the swing of things, said that he is looking forward to the challenges that cricket brings along.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am extremely excited. I haven\u2019t played cricket for a while, but I am getting back into the swing of things. I have had these kind of breaks before and it is always a challenge to get fit and hit balls again. I am really looking forward to that, and what will be a really good challenge in the Mzansi Super League,\u201d Sport24 quoted De Villiers, as saying.<\/p>\n
Expressing his view on the Mzansi Super League, the right-hand batsman termed it a \u201chuge step\u201d in the development of South African cricket.<\/p>\n
He further stated that all the players would give their best to make the league a big success.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a huge step in the right direction for Cricket South Africa, and South African cricket,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a unit, we\u2019ll be looking to not just pull this tournament off, but make it a great spectacle for fans around the world to enjoy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In May, De Villiers had announced his retirement from the international cricket. He is considered to be the greatest batsman of his time, having appeared in 114 Tests, 228 ODIs and 78 T20I for the national side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
