South Africa’s T20I skipper, Quinton de Kock, has said former South African skipper, AB de Villiers had certain chances of making a comeback to international cricket during the 2020 T20 World Cup, which has now been postponed due to the increasing cases of the coronavirus pandemic.

The ICC global event was scheduled to take place in Australia in October-November. De Villiers announced his retirement from international cricket in 2018 but speculations over his comeback have often been in the news for the past year or so. Even during the ICC World Cup 2019, there were speculations that he was expected to make an international comeback.

I think any team would have loved to have AB de Villiers in their team. While we were pushing for him, now we will have to see when the T20 World Cup is going to happen now.”

During the Big Bash in January, De Villiers had gone on record to say that he has often considered making a comeback in international cricket. 

During his BBL debut for Brisbane Heat, ABD had said, “There’s a lot that needs to happen before that becomes reality, I would love to.”

We are all keen to make it happen, it’s a long way away still and plenty can happen – there’s the IPL coming, I’ve still got to be in form at that time. I’m thinking of throwing my name in the hat and hoping everything will work out.”
