Mzansi Super League (MSL) 2019 will start on November this year and teams have been announced on Tuesday (3rd September). Tshwane Spartans have made a big change as AB de Villiers will not lead the team in this tournament. He is given rest from the burden of captaincy.
Under his captaincy, Tshwane Spartans were in second last position in six teams. AB de Villiers was not able to guide the team as the team won only 4 matches out of 10. Spartans coach Mark Boucher has confirmed that the team will find a new captain for the team.

“AB won’t be captain, we’ve discussed that,” said Boucher.
“He’s a fantastic player but he must go out there and play and perform like he’s been performing in the last while,” added Boucher.
“We have a few leadership options, we’ll talk to them and see how they feel. I don’t think AB needs that burden, he’s in that stage of his life where he must enjoy his cricket and that’s probably when he plays his best,” said Boucher.
AB de Villiers is playing T20 leagues
The former South Africa captain AB de Villiers has also played in IPL for Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB). He retired from international cricket but has decided to continue to play in IPL and some other T20 leagues.
The second edition of MSL is likely to start from 8th November and its final will be on 16th December 2019. Total six teams are participating in this league.
