Cape Town: South Africa’s wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock announced his retirement from Test cricket with immediate effect late on Thursday night, 30 December.
His announcement came just hours after South Africa’s 113-run defeat to India in the first Test of the three-match series.
According to the official media release, De Kock cited his intentions to spend more time with his growing family for the timing and reason for his relatively early retirement decision. He and his wife, Sasha, are expecting their first child in the coming days.
