We’d be foolish to think that Villiers is going to be the magic: Moody
Rangpur Riders

Amid much enthusiasm, AB de Villiers joined Rangpur Riders on Thursday and is set to play the game against hosts Sylhet Sixers on Saturday.
However when there was belief that Villiers, known as Mr. 360 degree, will solve all the problems of struggling Rangpur Riders, its head coach Tom Moody warned his not to expect too much from the explosive batsman.
“I think AB de Villiers in any side is going to add a lot of value. But we’d be foolish as a side to think that he’s going to be the magic that’s going to make a difference. We know that yes, he is going to add value, but there are talented players that need to also continue to do the hard work. It’s a collective effort; there’s no individual that can make massive changes. But we welcome him into our side because we know we are bringing in a world-class player,” Moody said.
“As I said AB in any dressing room is gonna add value, but at the end of the day as a side we need to not just rely on his conditions; we need to individually step up and make sure that we improve our game not only with the batting, but with the ball and in the field.”
