De Villiers Calls for WTC Change Despite SA Victory

South African cricket legend AB de Villiers has called for changes to the World Test Championship (WTC) format, despite his team’s recent victory.

De Villiers, who retired from international cricket in 2018, believes that the current format of the WTC does not accurately reflect the true quality of Test cricket.

In a recent interview, De Villiers expressed his concerns about the way the points system is structured in the WTC, stating that it often rewards teams for winning at home rather than for displaying true cricketing skill.

Despite South Africa’s recent victory in the WTC, De Villiers believes that there needs to be a more balanced approach to determining the champion of Test cricket.

He has suggested that the ICC consider changes to the format of the WTC to ensure that the competition truly represents the best teams and players in the world.

De Villiers emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of Test cricket, which he believes is being compromised by the current format of the WTC.

As one of the most respected voices in world cricket, De Villiers’ call for change is likely to spark a debate within the cricketing community.

It remains to be seen whether the ICC will heed De Villiers’ call for change and make adjustments to the WTC format in the future.

Regardless of the outcome, De Villiers’ comments have once again highlighted the passion and commitment that he has for the game of cricket.
