AB de Villiers:
The desperation to win trophies has forced the South Africa star to give the Test matches a miss in recent months. No doubt then that the explosive batsman will be desperate to end his country’s long wait for a global ODI title by winning the upcoming Champions Trophy.
Moreover, the tournament is likely to be his last and it will surely spur him to do well.
Faf du Plessis has already said that he along with some senior South African players are planning to hang up their boots after the 2019 World Cup and there is no doubt that de Villiers is also on that list.
The 33-year old has endured a torrid time due to injuries in recent months and it is tough to imagine him playing the next edition of the Champions Trophy.
