AB de Villiers says he is open to playing in both the T20 Blast and The Hundred in England next season.
The 35-year-old right-hander, who is is currently playing for Middlesex in the T20 Blast, said he would be interested in the ECB’s new tournament, The Hundred, which is set for a July launch next summer.
The Hundred will feature eight city-based teams in a new 100-ball format.
“Maybe I’ll do both next year, who knows,” said De Villiers to Middlesex’s official website.
“If I am still fit, hitting them well and I’m competing with the best in the world why not?
“I haven’t seen the rules and regulations for The Hundred, but whatever is good for the game of cricket I am going to support.
“Innovation is fantastic. If you never try you never know so we’ll see what happens. If it’s okay, great; if it fails you move on, but I’m very excited to see how it works and maybe something will come of it.
“Whatever promotes the game of cricket and brings more people to the game I’m a fan of.”
