You have to keep in mind all the changes that have happened in the last three to five years before giving your opinion about the team. Many experienced players are retiring. There has been a lot of change in the coaching staff. There have been many changes in the team and many new faces have joined the team.

De Villiers said, “Many new things have happened in our team. Despite this, our team qualified for the T20 World Cup final and has now made it to the WTC final. It’s incredible and I think they deserve a lot of credit for achieving this. Our team was among the top teams in the world from 2008 to 2015.”
