AB de Villiers has ruled himself out of South Africa’s test series in New Zealand in March.
He still wants to play the longest format‚ but his prime focus is now on white-ball cricket.
“I’m not there yet‚” De Villiers said at the launch of the Pink Drive at the Wanderers on Tuesday.
“I need a bit of time just to settle things in my head.
“I’ve made unavailable for the tests in New Zealand.
“For me the goal is the 2019 World Cup — I want to lift that trophy.”
De Villiers has played 106 tests in which he has scored 8 074 runs at an average of 50.46.
Many of those runs have come in innings supporters of exciting batting will never forget‚ especially the 21 centuries and 39 half-centuries he has scored.
He is South Africa’s leading run-scorer among current players and third on the all-time list behind Jacques Kallis and Graeme Smith.
De Villiers has been out of action since June with an elbow injury that required surgery.
