Cape Town, Mar 10: South Africa batsman AB de Villiers has said that he is now equally comfortable in his role of wicketkeeper.

On the eve of the first of five one-day internationals against Pakistan, De Villiers said ‘cricket-wise he is where he wants to be’.

He added that he is ‘comfortable with batting and very comfortable behind the stumps,’ News 24 reports.

De Villiers wanted to use the January one-day series against the Black Caps as an opportunity to hone his captaincy skills, but he was suspended after the first ODI for the team’s slow over rate.

The Proteas went on to lose the series 2-1 and had since analysed their mistakes and De Villiers was confident they were back on the right track, the report said. (ANI)
