AB de Villiers explained his decision to miss the Test series against England and India, while committing himself to the 50-over format.

Speaking to the Titans’ YouTube channel after his destructive 134 not out for the Northerns on Sunday in what was his first competitive game for over six months, De Villiers hinted at family reasons for his decision to excuse himself from the upcoming Test series against England and India, but also made it clear that he plans to be around for the 2019 World Cup in England. He also took time to praise his teammate Lungi Ngidi on his emphatic rise.
