Pushing cricket fans and South Africa cricket fans in a big sorrow, AB de Villiers popularly known as Mr. 360 ruled out the possibility of coming out of retirement ahead of the much-awaited T20 World Cup tournament.

On Tuesday, the South Africa Cricket Board announced that AB de Villiers refused to come out of his retirement and his retirement status stays in place.

A day after AB D refused to come out of the retirement, South Africa Coach Mark Boucher gave a reason behind the development and said they will respect the player's decision.

Calling AB de Villiers, the best T20 player in the world, the coach said. I respect the reasons of AB to not come out of his retirement. It's unfortunate that he is no longer in the mix of players, who will be part of the team, he said.

If not the best player, AB D is one of the best T20 players in the world. The decision of coming in the team ahead of the other players who have been a part of the system didn't go well for him. Considering the fact that, AB D has not been a part of the team, he doesn't want to come ahead of the players, who have been a part of the team, the coach maintained.

After the unforgettable performance of the South Africa team in the 2019 edition of the World Cup, the demand to bring back AB D surfaced. Since then, the reports on this have been surfacing.

During the 2021 edition of IPL, the South African cricket board said that they would like to have a word with the player to make him part of the team. AB D even expressed his willingness to join the team. But things didn't turn as planned.
