However, current reports state that AB de Villiers wants to play the ICC T20 World Cup 2020 for his team. AB de Villiers has said that he would like to play the T20 World Cup. The T20 World Cup 2020 is to be held in Australia in October and November.
According to sources, talks are going on between AB de Villiers and the new support staff and captain of the South Africa team. AB de Villiers has said, "I would love to play the World Cup. I would like to talk with Boucher (new coach of South Africa team), Graeme Smith (Director of Cricket CSA) and Captain Faf Du Plessis about this. We all want this to be possible. However, before that, some things will be needed, which is under preparation. "
