Cricket South Africa is working relentlessly to resume cricket [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/cricket/]. As a part of their efforts, the board is introducing a new format on a trial basis. CRICKET SOUTH AFRICA PROPOSES NEW EXPERIMENTAL FORMAT TO RESUME DOMESTIC CRICKET The new format consists of three teams playing each other in a single match. The match will feature 36 overs in total. CSA has named the format “The Solidarity Cup” and it will commence on June 27th at SuperSport park in Centurion. The 3T cricket format will move forward without an audience. This is per protocols. However, this is the first step that Cricket South Africa is taking to resume domestic cricket. The captain of the three teams are AB de Villiers, Quinton de Kock, and Kagiso Rabada. Each of the teams will have 8 players and each team will play 12 overs with six innings each. During such time, each team will face both opponents on field. An interesting rule of the format is – once the 7th wicket falls, the last batsman can continue to score but it has to be in even numbers only, i.e., 2, 4, or 6. The team which will score the highest aggregate total will be the winner of the match. VILLIERS, DE KOCK, AND RABADA EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS ABOUT THE 3T FORMAT AB de Villiers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ab-de-villiers/] is praising CSA for this initiate and believes that this will help restore domestic cricket. “It’s a great idea and credit must go to Cricket South Africa and Rain for working to develop this new and innovative style of cricket.” Quinton de Kock [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/quinton-de-kock/] is of the opinion that this is an exciting opportunity for players. In fact, he looks forward to beating both AB de Villers and Kagiso Rabada on the same day. “I’m even more excited about the new format, it’s going to be a lot of fun playing to beat KG and AB on the same day.” Kagiso Rabada [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kagiso_Rabada] will be making his comeback to the field with this format. He has not been able to play since February 2019 due to a groin issue. Therefore, he is eagerly waiting to play the match alongside two of the greatest names in South Africa cricket. “I’m looking forward to playing again alongside some of the country’s biggest names.” Cricket South Africa director Graeme Smith believe that The Solidarity Cup will help players scratch the itch to get back on-field. “I know that the players are itching to get back into action, which is why we are so excited about the Solidarity Cup.” 

Cricket South Africa is introducing a new experimental 3T format known as the
Solidarity Cup in an effort to resume domestic cricket.

AB de Villiers Biography

Abraham Benjamin de Villiers, also known as Mr 360, what can be said about him? AB de Villiers has grown to become one of the world's best batsmen. When in form, de Villiers is deadly with a capital D.

The South African possesses the knack of tearing into any bowling attack. AB de Villiers has the capability of giving bowlers nightmares for days on end. At a young age, every selector had their eyes trained on him alone. He was soon rewarded with a berth among the Proteas at the age of 20 in 2004.

In his Test debut at home against England, he almost single-handedly rescued South Africa from the jaws of defeat. In the same series, he smashed his maiden Test century. With that, the legend of AB de Villiers was born.

However, a year later, like most players, a slump in his form plagued him. But he combatted that with an astounding 217 against India. In the process AB de Villiers set a record as the first South African to smash a double ton against India.

Ab de Villiers possesses a mainstream attacking game, he complements that with a back-and-across trigger movement and a late-block in his defensive arsenal. Aside from that, he tends to play in accordance with the situation and conditions as well.

However, he is not invincible, if an elbow surgery in 2016 is any proof. As a result, he made an appearance in only one Test series all year. Following his recovery, AB de Villiers returned to the limited-overs formats, but avoided Test cricket to 'lighten his workload'.

IPL Career

With regard to the IPL AB de Villiers is a fan favourite in any city. De Villiers has been in the IPL right from its inception in 2008. During that time, he was with the Delhi Daredevils.

But he truly announced himself to the world when he joined the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2011. He still delivered handsomely for Delhi, courtesy a 105 against the Chennai Super Kings.

He was let go by Delhi in the wake of a poor 2010 season and RCB pounced immediately. They nabbed him for a whopping 1.1 million dollars and they were going to make Delhi regret their decision to drop him.

Since then, AB de Villiers has proven his money's worth for Bangalore. The big-hitting South African formed a dangerous triumvirate with skipper, Virat Kohli and Jamaican star, Chris Gayle. He ended up as the leading run-getter for RCB for three seasons.

IPL 2019 Expectations

Now, AB de Villiers has stuck around with the Royal Challengers for yet another season. The team are desperate for a maiden IPL triumph inspite of boasting the strongest batting line-up ever. He has achieved a high score of an unbeaten 133* back in 2015 at a strike rate of 175.08.

Quinton de Kock Biography

Quinton de Kock is a highly rated South African player who has worked his way into the main squad. He has achieved some remarkable feats at a young age, having debuted in 2012 at the age of 20. It is clear that Quinton de Kock is a star for the future. He has wowed with the willow and is an exceptional wicketkeeper as well.

He burst onto the scene with the South Africa U-19 side. During the 2012 U-19 World Cup, he was the Proteas' highest run-scorer. It wasn't long before Quintn de Kock was included in the national team. The move was perfectly timed as star player AB de Villiers needed a break.

A year after his debut, his fame only grew as he scored three successive ODI centuries against India. However, disaster struck as an ankle injury nearly put paid to his 2015 ODI World Cup chances. Luckily, Quinton de Kock was able to recover.

Unfortunately, his form never got the memo and he endured a miserable tournament. As a result, he was shuttled in and out of the squad for the remainder of the year.

In 2016, Quinton de Kock set a record for being the fifth South African to score five fifty-plus scores in a row.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-153364" src="http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1555157851-8465.jpg" alt="Quinton de Kock" width="620" height="464" />

IPL Career

With regard to the IPL, Quinton de Kock made a name for himself in the now defunct Champions League T20. Now, in IPL 2019, he became the first traded player, switching from Royal Challengers Bangalore to Mumbai Indians.

Quinton de Kock kick-started his IPL career with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2013. But like most rookie players, he too was stuck in the limited chances zone. The Sunrisers evidently decided that they saw enough and sent him packing. That was when the Delhi Daredevils fished him out and he thrived after a shaky start. In IPL 2016, Quinton de Kock finished as Delhi's top run-getter.

Sadly, injury woes struck again, this time a finger injury, forcing him to miss the entire 2017 season. In 2018, he changed sides, to the RCB team in 2018. After getting a good number of chances, Quinton de Kock was assigned the 'important role' of seat-warmer.

IPL 2019 Expectations

Quinton de Kock is a talented player, and at 26, he still has it in him to score big. He boasts of a highest score of 108, set in 2016. He also has a strike rate of 131.48 in the IPL at an average of 29.12.
