Former skipper of South Africa cricket team Faf Du Plessis has hinted at a possible return to international cricket at the T20 World Cup 2024. Du Plessis last played for the national side back in December 2020, and since then, he has been playing T20I cricket for various franchises all around the world. Du Plessis was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2023 auction of the Indian Premier League, and he has been exceptionally successful for the team. On the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi T10 League, the veteran star revealed his possible plans for the upcoming competition with the South African cricket team.
Du Plessis said, "I believe that I can return to international cricket as well. We have been speaking about this for the last couple of years. It's just figuring out the balance of the T20 World Cup next year. It's certainly something we have spoken about with the new coach. Watch this space.”
South Africa coach Rob Walter had earlier said that he would be open to the return of Du Plessis' to the national side, and the batter revealed that he is currently in conversation with the new coach.
