(UDHAYAM, LONDON) – AB de Villiers returns to captain the Standard Bank Proteas in the first One-Day International (ODI) against England at Headingley in Leeds on Wednesday (24).
De Villiers missed the two warm-up matches due to a respiratory tract infection, but has made a satisfactory recovery for the series-opener.
The 33-year-old says the three-match series signals the start of the journey towards the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy final, and is the perfect opportunity to set the tone for the next four-weeks.
