AB de Villiers All Set to Return Brand New Sport
Team USA’s Fred Couples will lead the Rest of the World side against AB de Villiers at the inaugural Icons Series golf event in Jersey City from June 30 to July 1. The star cricketer from South Africa announced his retirement from the sport in October last year and will now take up golf instead. In the inaugural Icons Series golf event in Jersey City, he will represent the Rest of the World team against the USA team led by Fred Couples.
AB de Villiers And Ashleigh Barty
It is no surprise that de Villiers describes Barty as one of his close friends since Barty – who is also a three-time Grand Slam winner – has taken a break from his tennis career to play cricket for the Brisbane Heat in the 2015-16 Big Bash.
However, it appears that the exit is final this time.
In a phone interview with AFP, de Villiers said, “It’s a weird one to explain.”.
“I think the best answer is that each person has a different strategy to navigate through their career, and some use it for as long as possible. I respect the decision she made. While I would like to think stepping away would be a relief, it is a very late age to retire.”
