AB de Villiers confirms to play Pakistan leg PSL 2019


Former South African captain and batsman AB de Villiers has announced that he will be coming Pakistan in March as part of the Lahore Qalandars team for matches against Islamabad United and Multan Sultans to play at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.


De Villiers, who had retired from international cricket last year, was picked by Lahore Qalandars in the PSL draft in November. He was signed on to play only seven of the side’s eight league matches in the UAE leg of the tournament.  But now on Monday 14 January 2019, De Villiers confirms to play Pakistan leg matches, which will be playing on 9th and 10th March against Islamabad United and Multan Sultans, but he will be unavailable for playoffs due to family commitments.

De Villiers said in a press release

 “I look forward to revisiting the Gaddafi Stadium and aim to play my part in helping Lahore Qalandars achieve something they have been aspiring for since the inception of this tournament in 2016.

“I am fully aware that cricket is like a second religion in Pakistan and still remember the support and appreciation we received in 2007.

Furthermore, I feel I have a role to play in helping international cricket return to Pakistan. These have been some of the motivating factors for me to return to Lahore.
