Retired AB de Villiers will be considered for a place in the South African T20 World Cup squad only if he shows good form and proves himself to be the “best man for the job”, says the team’s head coach Mark Boucher.
“He’s (de Villiers) a discussion in the media and in the public but he is no discussion for me. I have had chats with him and we will probably know pretty soon what’s going to happen with him,” Boucher said after team’s 1-2 defeat to England in T20 series at home.
“Like I said from day one when I took over, if we are going to a World Cup, I would like to have our best players there.
“If AB is in good form and he is raring to go and he makes himself available for the time we have asked him to be available; if he is the best man for the job, then he must go,” he added.
