“You shouldn’t be …”: AB de Villiers’s big warning for Australia ahead of WTC Final vs South Africa ahead of South Africa

The legendary South African batsman AB de Villiers warned Australia not to take South Africa lightly during the ICC World Test Championship final at Lord’s in June, saying that the team lacks experience, yet they have found something special. South Africa’s goal will be aimed at securing its first ICC World Test Championship, when they move to Australia in Title Clash at Lord’s from 11 June. The South African team has been announced, which includes inexperienced talents such as promising, but Tony de Jorzi, Triston Stabs, Ryan Recleton and Corbin Bosch.

Speaking in a video of the ICC, de Villiers said that the final qualification of South Africa is a bit surprising, given them the lack of overall experience, but the team has the ability to make something special despite this major shortage.

“Yes. I think for all our surprises, Proteus has managed to qualify for the finals. I am surprised because I think I think there are more experienced, more well-oil teams like Australia.

De Villiers said that the team is full of match winners and many exciting young talents, and should not be underestimated.

“I think there are some good leaders, such as Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma. Even Marco Jensen can consider himself a senior player. They only lead with a lot of inspiration that I really like. If you should not do against a South African team, then they do a lot, which they are, because you are very much, because you like them a lot, because you like them a lot, because you are very much, because you are very much. In Lord’s, “he said.

For his team, de Villiers suggested that whenever they get an opportunity to dominate and create some speed, they should count it.

He said, “I have always found the best way to play against him to fight with fire. It does not mean that it is going to work for everyone. Personally, I felt that this is the best way that he is the best way to approach it,” he said.

SA ended at the top of the ICC World Test Championship Standing with eight wins, three defeats and one draw,

Temba Bavuma leads the 15 squads of South Africa for the title Clash. The squad has been further strengthened by the return of speedster lungi NGD, which missed the summer assignment of the house due to a waist injury.

Pacer, which is completely cured, has been painted for South Africa in the first white ball cricket in 2025, and also depicted in the Global T20 League. Bavuma led the charge of South Africa in its first WTC final. Doni de Jorzi, Ryan Ryyan Ricelton, and Eden Markram make top -order batting options, while Rising Star Triston Stabs, David Bedingam and Bavuma will hold the fort in the order.

Kyle will be an electrical appearance behind the Verranene stumps and reduce the order, and all-rounders Viam Muldar and Marco Jansen can also contribute with the bat. Mueller and Jansen will be included to frame the fast-boiling lineup by Ace Pesar Cagiso Rabada, Cash, Dan Patterson and Corbin Bosh. Tweaker Keshav Maharaj will be the face of spin resources with Senuran Muthusamy.

Protease has a large-scale confidence in its reliable core, leading to only two changes in the 16-Khiladi squad, which faced Pakistan. The young Quenna Mafaka misses the price of the returning negidi, while the top-order batter Matthew Breetzke also comes out.

South Africa squad for WTC final 2025: Temba Bavuma (Captain), Tony de Jorzi, Aiden Markram, Vian Mulder, Marco Jenson, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Cash, Corbin Bosch, Kyle Verrane, David Bedingam, Triston Stabs, Ryan Reiyan Reclon, Senuran, Senuran.
