AB de Villers announces retirement

Great AB de Villers has announced that he is going to retire from all formats of International Cricket immediately. This is a really sad news for Cricket fans. 34 year old AB tweeted in his video that "After 114 Test matches 228 One Day Internationals and 78 T20 Internationals it is time for others to take over. I have had my turn and to be honest, I m tired". Fans thought that AB will pick and choose matches and formats and will play till 2019 Cricket World Cup. But he said that it would be difficult to pick and choose and he wanted 'everything' or 'nothing' on green and gold. AB said in the video- "I have no plans to play overseas, In fact I hope and can continue for Titans in Domestic Cricket".
