“Obviously, international cricket is the main cricket you want to play,...” — AB de Villiers Quote

Obviously, international cricket is the main cricket you want to play, especially Test cricket.

You've got to be able to work hard. There must be inner drive that you want to be the best in the world at what you do.

I truly love captaining. I've grown into enjoying it.

You represent your country - that's the biggest honour ever. I had the privilege of doing that for more than 14 years.

I will always be grateful to the coaches and staff of Cricket South Africa for their support through all these years.

I love sleeping and to inculcate the habit of early rising, my dad forced me to take up a sport. That was the only reason I started playing cricket in the first place. And thereafter it continued.

The problem is there's still a big kid inside me who likes to have fun. I am passionate about my cricket and I love my family, but I'm also a kid and maybe I need to grow up... And maybe I don't.

Test cricket should be No. 1 for every cricketer.

I don't study cricket too much. Whatever I have learned or experienced is through cricket I've played on the field, and whatever little I have watched.

My biggest ambition, ever since I was a boy in Pakistan, has been to play cricket at the highest level. If I can do so for South Africa, I'll give everything.
