AB De Villers made it clear that he is not retiring from test cricket. Only unavailability in upcoming South Africa’s series in New Zealand is due to elbow injury since July. He has handed over the Test captaincy to Faf du Plessis. He says, to return into action in Twenty20 against Sri Lanka. He said “his main aim is to get that world cup and lift that trophy”. He wants to prepare himself for the format.
