South African skipper AB de Villiers to release autobiography – AB: The Autobiography:

If there is one batsman in international cricket today who appeals to the widest audience and fan base around the world, it has to be AB de Villiers. The fanfare can be purely credited to his game, skill and amazing display of unseen, unrealistic shots and batting performances. The South African skipper AB de Villiers today announced that he has planned to release his autobiography in November, 2015.

Pan Macmillan South Africa in a statement on its website said, AB: The Autobiography will cover key events and influences that have shaped his life and career, from his childhood and schooling at Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies) through to his present successes, experiences and controversies as captain of the ODI team. AB will offer access to the man behind the bat and beneath the helmet, exploring career-defining moments, on-and-off the field events and his relationship with various mentors. The reader will be transported to the backyard of AB’s childhood home where he first learnt to play cricket with his brothers, and will be introduced to colourful characters and sportsmen along the way. The autobiography will also explore AB’s interests in music and business and how he pursues these alongside his international cricket career.
