Quinton de Kock to retire from ODIs after World Cup 2023
The Proteas Men have announced their 15-member squad for the ODI World Cup. Temba Bavuma led-South Africa will kickstart their WC campaign vs Sri Lanka on October 7th in Delhi.
In a shocking news, Quinton de Kock has confirmed that he will retire from ODIs upon the conclusion of the ODI World Cup 2023. Notably, the batter retired from Test cricket in 2021 and is now expected to extend his T20 career. Quinton’s decision has been confirmed by Cricket South Africa, the same day WC squad was announced.
South Africa’s Director of Cricket Enoch Nkwe said “Quinton de Kock has been a really good servant to South African cricket. He set the benchmark with his attacking batting style and was a key member of the squad for a number of years. He also wore the captain’s armband and that is an honour that very few people get to hold.”
“We understand his decision to step back from ODI cricket and we want to thank him for his service. We wish him well for the future but still look forward to seeing him represent in T20I cricket.” Nkwe added
