The Big Bash League battle to sign South African superstar AB de Villiers is on.De Villiers revealed on Wednesday, via a video message on Twitter, he'd ended an international cricket career spanning 114 Tests, 228 ODIs, 78 Twenty20s and numerous astonishing boundaries.Several BBL clubs have since reached out to de Villiers' management.De Villiers, who has long been among the most in-demand players on the T20 circuit because of his batting talent, would be a blockbuster addition to any of the eight franchises.
The gifted right-hander, who was pivotal in the Proteas' Test series win over Australia earlier this year, told the Sixers a month ago he had no plans to join the BBL."Last night, we touched base again with his manager," Sydney Sixers general manager Jodie Hawkins said."We hope we'll be in a pretty good position if he wants to come out."From a family point of view, we feel we offer a pretty attractive package in Sydney and he's previously stated his love for the SCG."We're very keen to have him, should he want to come out, but we also realise he said he's keen to play domestic cricket in South Africa."
