De Villiers To Give Up Keeping? - dillinger10 - 07-22-2014
Quote:AB de Villiers has conceded long-term back issues could force him to give up wicketkeeping in Tests, as he has done in limited-overs cricket. De Villiers was unable to keep in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle because of a hamstring niggle and though he has recovered, he is unlikely to keep in the second Test as well.

Quinton DeKock was impressive in the 1st Test barring that drop of Sanga.He can replace ABD and now that he is giving up WK,the batting order needs a tweak.ABD at No:3 Amla at 4 and Faf at 5 will be brilliant.
De Kock needs to work on his WK skills though to sustain in the long run.
