AB hangs up gloves in limited overs formats
I came across this article which outlined that AB de Villiers has been relieved of his keeping duties in the limited over formats. I think this is really a great move, despite him keeping appearing more desirable in the shorter formats. The fact is de Villiers has a lot on his plate. He is the captain, top order batsman, as well as the keeper. Trying to manage all of this is an extremely difficult task. Adam Gilchrist, although was vice-captain was never seen as a legitimate long-term prospect for captain because of the incredible demands required. At this stage AB is going to continue to keep in tests, with his 169 seemingly buying him some more time to show that he can keep without it adversely affecting his batting.
