AB de Villiers is widely recognised as one of the outstanding cricketers of all time. He excelled in all three formats of the game, captaining South Africa in Test matches, one day internationals and T20s, and emerged as one of the brightest stars of the Indian Premier League, and other T20 tournaments around the world.

In parallell, edyoutec is in talks with game developers/publishing companies in order to find a comprehensive partnership for development and marketing. Target companies are those with knowledge of the Indian gaming market who will be able to take the game further and to make it reach the potential that exists in manager games. This is in line with the strategy presented in 2023 where the ambition to find a home for edyoutec’s game titles King Royale, Cricket Manager Pro and Tank Operations was clearly outlined.
