PARIS, May 3 — Ashleigh Barty’s retirement in March when she was women’s tennis number one and just 25 years old is a “weird one to explain”, South African cricket legend AB de Villiers has told AFP in an interview before they team up for a golf event.
A Freddie Couples-captained Team USA will compete against a Rest of the World team — skippered by ‘The Big Easy’ Ernie Els, one of de Villier’s sporting idols — with 14 sporting stars in each line-up. “I think the best answer is that every person has their own way of manoeuvring through their career, some as long as possible.
He says he has not had second thoughts since bringing down the curtain on his stellar career which saw him captain South Africa in all three formats.“I am feeling quite happy I made the right decision even if I miss the game and will be forever grateful to the sport.“I am really happy to look back on my career with fond memories.
De Villiers says he has not been in touch with Kohli, but says the struggle becomes largely one of the mind.
