AB de Villiers, on Friday, announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. The legendary batter took to social media to release the official statement of his retirement. The 37-year-old already announced his retirement from international cricket in May 2018.
The former Proteas skipper posted a heartfelt note on Instagram regarding his retirement.
De Villiers said that he played the game with pure enjoyment and enthusiasm but now the flame no longer burns so brightly.
“It has been an incredible journey, but I have decided to retire from all cricket.
Ever since the back yard matches with my older brothers, I have played the game with pure enjoyment and unbridled enthusiasm. Now, at the age of 37, that flame no longer burns so brightly. That’s the reality I must accept - and, even if it may seem sudden, that is why I am making this announcement today. I’ve had my time," he wrote.
The legendary Proteas has been one of the biggest names in franchise cricket. Since his international retirement, he travelled around the world playing for mega T20 leagues like IPL, BBL and others.
