The uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has also affected De Villiers’ decision to play in the BBL.
We would like to keep working with AB de Villiers when circumstances allow: Darren Lehmann
Brisbane Heat coach Darren Lehmann accepted that the absence of AB de Villiers would be a huge blow to their team. However, Lehmann understands that De Villiers has family commitments and is hopeful that he could play for their side once again whenever the circumstances allow for it to happen.
Lehmann also spoke about Mujeeb Ur Rahman rejoining the Brisbane Heat and is excited about what he would bring to the table.
Mujeeb had an impressive Carribean Premier League where he ended up being the second highest wicket-taker with 16 wickets at an economy rate of just 5.29.
The head coach also threw light on his experience in the Indian Premier League and how his ability to adapt to different conditions would come in handy for the Heat.
Although the Brisbane Heat will miss the services of AB de Villiers, Mujeeb could prove to be a valuable addition to the franchise and become the X-factor that sets them apart from the rest.
