AB de Villiers is the former captain of South Africa. He retired from international cricket in 2018.
AB de Villiers is unhappy with there being only a two-Test series between India and South Africa. He also does not consider it right to play only two Test matches on the New Zealand tour of Africa.
Former bat African has failed, there is pressure on Test cricket due to T20. It is because of T-20 that Test cricket is under threat. In such a situation, changes are needed to avoid cricket test.
De Villiers said on his YouTube channel that I am not happy that there will not be a third Test between India and Africa. For this, T-20 cricket going on across the world has to be blamed. However, I don’t know what the indications are for this condition. But please understand that there is some scientist coming.
Along with the test, there is also pressure on the valida.
Now there is pressure not only on Test cricket but also on cricket. The whole system revolves around T-20 cricket. Players, board and coaches, wherever they shift, there will be money. If you want to watch a cricket test competition, then the rules of the two test series will have to be changed. There should be more than 2 tests in the series between the teams.

Cape Town pitch described as fine
De Villiers described the second Kolkata pitch between South Africa and India in Cape Town as fine. He said, ‘In my opinion it (KP Town) was a very standard wicket.’ I remember the first day she was acting out. It becomes easier if you have played the entire first session on the first day. Also look at the players who were playing their credit game. He wasn’t putting in much effort, just playing with focus.
He further said, ‘I remember Ben Stokes had scored double centuries there. I myself have placed some scholarships there. On such a pitch you need to create nominal pressure. You cannot give away portfolios like Philander, Shastri, Siraj, Rabada as per your wish.
