Former South Africa wicket-keeper batsman AB de Villiers will play in Nepal’s Everest Premier League (EPL). The 2020 edition of the competition was postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic. However, this year EPL is set to be start from September 25 to October 9.
EPL Managing Director Aamir Akhtar confirmed that AB de Villiers has agreed to play in EPL. He was also delighted to confirm and share the news of his signing.
“We are trying our best to bring top international cricketers for EPL to put Nepal in the frame of global cricket. We had tried to bring AB de Villiers previous season as well but he couldn’t be available. This edition he has agreed to be here. If nothing comes in between, he will be playing at the TU grounds for sure,” Aamir Akhtar said.
Universe Boss Chris Gayle was also signed to feature in the EPL last year for Pokhra Rhinos. Apart from Pokhra Rhinos, five other teams will participate in the EPL in 2021. Lalitpur Patriots, Bhairahawa Gladiators, Chitwan Tigers, Biratnagar Warriors, and Kathmandu Kings XI are the teams involved.
