AB de Villiers has ruled himself out of the Test series against England in July-August and is targeting a return to the longest format in the 2017-18 summer, in the series against India and Australia. He has opted out of the home Tests against Bangladesh.
He has also made himself unavailable for any T20 leagues, except the IPL.
“I’m just not ready yet,” de Villiers told reporters in Centurion, ahead of South Africa’s T20 against Sri Lanka. ” I’m aware of my elbow. The surgeon said it will be normal. I’m feeling really confident.”
On Tuesday, de Villiers had announced he had made himself unavailable for the upcoming Test series in New Zealand in March though he has recovered from his elbow injury.
