Prepared to work my way back into Test team - AB de Villiers

Having not played a Test since January 2016 though, he does not expect that door to open as easily as the limited-overs' one did.

"If selected, I will be there but I can't accept that I am going to be in the squad. I have been out of the squad for a while and guys that have come in have done well. You don't just walk into the Test team," he said. I am going to have to work my way back. I am prepared to do the hard work."

And that much is as clear as can be.
