Ab de Villiers doesn’t miss, is there a crowd that doesn’t? In the era of the spread of short-format cricket, there is no end to the practice of this batsman, who is known for three-six degrees. Many cricketers today follow the style of the South African legend. However, everyone finds his shadow in one person. He is de Villiers’ compatriot Dewald Brevis. In the meantime, the Proteas have become known in the cricket world as ‘Baby AB’.

Brevis threw a ruckus in the Under-19 World Cup. Seeing the power-hitting or ability to play shots around the wicket, everyone started calling him Next De Villiers.

The franchise leagues were embroiled in a flurry with the highest run-scorer in that edition of the Youth World Cup. Brevis has also proved his ability in events in different countries at the senior level. However, the 19-year-old cricketer has not yet made his debut in senior international cricket.

His dream is going to be fulfilled soon. Especially after Bavuma-de Kock failed to chase down the 159-run target set by the Netherlands in the T20 World Cup in Australia, the policymakers of South African cricket feel the urge to include Baby AB in the team.

The board’s director of cricket, Inkh Enkawe, said Brevis could make his debut like David Warner. The Proteas have plans to play the under-19 cricket-winning batter in the senior’s T20, then the ODIs and the last Test. Warner also did not have much experience playing domestic cricket before making his international debut. Nevertheless, this Aussie has got great success in all formats. This time, Dewald Brevis will also bring success to the country, south Africans believe.
