Mark Boucher Reveals The Reason Why De Villiers Refused To Play T20 World Cup 2021

By IANS News May 19, 2021 • 19:04 PM View: 1608

AB de Villiers refused to play for South Africa in this year's T20 World Cup since he didn't want to come ahead of players already part of the system, said national coach Mark Boucher.

"AB has his reasons, which I respect. Unfortunately, he's no longer in the mix. I say unfortunately because I think we all agree that he's still one of the best -- if not the best -- T20 players in world cricket," Boucher was quoted as saying by The Citizen, a South African media outlet.
