'If T20 World Cup is postponed...', AB de Villiers makes stance clear on his international comeback
South African cricketer AB de Villiers stated that he doesn't create any "false hopes" of a much-awaited comeback at the T20 World Cup this year, which, he feels, might get postponed due to coronavirus pandemic.
The coronavirus outbreak has forced the cancellation or postponement of many events including the Tokyo Olympics 2020 and Indian Premier League 2020. However, the T20 World Cup 2020 remains on the schedule in Australia later this yeat for now.
During a conversation with Afrikaans-language Sunday newspaper 'Rapport', AB de Villiers said that "I can't see six months into the future. If the tournament gets postponed a whole lot of things will change. At the moment I feel available, but at the same time I don't know how my body will see it and if healthy at that time."
He added that "I might get to a point where I have to tell Bouch (coach Mark Boucher) I was interested, I would like to play a role but I'm going to be able to play myself. I'm afraid of such a commitment and creating false hope."

"If I am 100 percent as good as I want to be, then I will be available but if I am not I won't open myself up to that because I am not the type of person who does things at 80 percent. Then I have to do trials and show 'Bouchie' I'm still good enough," he said.
