“People want AB to play and I am no different,” du Plessis has said after his Paarl Rocks team defeated Tshwane Spartans to win the Mzansi Super League final on Monday night according to Cricinfo. “Those conversations have been happening for two or three months already: what does it look like, how does it look over the next year, and that’s where it starts.”
