Is AB de Villiers coming back to International cricket?

With the cash-rich league (Indian Premier League) being postponed till April 15, RCB player opened up on the possibility of an international comeback.
“Let’s wait and see what happens. My focus is on the Indian Premier League at the moment and helping Royal Challengers Bangalore realize our full potential. Then we will sit down and have a look at the rest of the year and see what is possible,” De Villiers said as quoted by Sportstar.

 The 36-year-old had retired from international cricket in 2018. He did try to get into the South African squad before the World Cup 2019. However, the team management didn’t let him. In the end, the World Cup turned out to be disastrous for South Africa cricket team.
Talking about his decision of retiring, he said,
“Each player must consider his own circumstances and make his own decision. I reached a point where I wanted to see more of my wife and two young sons and seek a reasonable balance between family and cricket. The mental and physical demands on the leading players are massive these days, but each player must decide what he can and can’t do.”

 The South African cricket team is going through a bit of transition period. The situation had risen after the retirement of some key individuals who had carried the Proteas. Imran Tahir, Hashim Amla, JP Duminy are some of the players who have retired from international cricket. But, the early retirement of the South African batsman AB de Villiers has definitely impacted the side heavily.

 Recently, while playing in the Big Bash League 2019-20, the right-handed batsman had said that there have been talks of his comeback to international cricket. The comeback would see him primarily focusing on winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2020 for the South African side.

Mark boucher the head coach expressed his desire to have ABD back in the side and so did former captain of the team Faf du Plessis.

 SO YEAH WE CAN HOPE THE COMEBACK OF THE LEGEND TO INTERNATIONAL CRICKET AND SEE HIM IN ACTION FOR THE UPCOMING ICC CRICKET T20 WORLD CUP 2020 FOR THE SOUTH AFRICA.

 Let us know what do you think of his comeback to side

 During the first day of second Test, 34-year-old Stuart Broad was in some sort of discomfort on the field. In his fourth over he called for an inhaler and was struggling a little. Why he  calle d for an inhaler? Broad, in fact, has been suffering from asthma and he even had revealed it in 2015. Broad was born 3 months premature and as a result he was born with only 1 and a half lungs .(WHAT??😮).  Yes,you heard it. One of his lungs never fully developed. He was at death's door when he was born but luckily he survived.(Thank God). That is the reason he is asthmatic and carry an inhaler. He says "It has never affected me as a sportsman, but the idea that I've played my entire career with half a lung less than everybody else is quite amazing when you think about it."

THE MILESTONE In the previous test against West Indies, Stuart Broad had touched milestone of...

World Cup 1992 semi-final: One of the most controversial exits in World Cup history

Image
How will you take it when you feel like you have been robbed from a victory you knew you will most likely win it. You obviously would feel heartbroken and in disbelief of what happened with you and your team. This is what happened in the Semi-Final of World Cup 1992 with South African cricket team against England. The huge scorecard at SCG placed between Coke and Foster's banners read SOUTH AFRICA TO WIN NEED 22 RUNS OFF 1 BALL What Actually Happened? The second semi-final of the 1992 World Cup, between England and South Africa – playing their first World Cup since the end of their 21-year Apartheid-induced isolation.(Apartheid induced isolation is covered later in this blog). England managed a competitive 252/6 thanks to a worthy knock of 92 from Graeme Hick. The first innings were stopped at 45 overs as South Africa had bowled their overs slowly.  In reply, the Keppler Wessels-led side were trudging on as they lost their way after a decent start. Jonty Rhodes did the ...
