In the latest development, it has been confirmed that Proteas’ wicketkeeper-batsman, Quinton de Kock will call curtains on his ODI cricket career after the conclusion of the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023. The upcoming mega event is going to be held entirely in India for the first time. The tournament will kick off on October 5 and it comes to a close on November 19. South Africa haven’t won an ICC ODI World Cup in their history.

Quinton de Kock will be looking forward to applying all the tricks and trades in order to help the team in the forthcoming event. He thrived as a batsman and wicketkeeper for his country across all formats of international cricket. Just a year ago, he took the cricket fraternity by surprise by calling it quits from Test cricket in order to prolong his limited-overs career.

Quinton de Kock to retire from ODIs after ODI World Cup 2023

Now that, it’s been confirmed that he will retire from ODIs after the World Cup this year, he will be fully focused on delivering the goods in playing the shortest format of the game. He will be a part of the national T20I setup and will play a substantial role for South Africa in the upcoming Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024.

Meanwhile, in an official statement, Enoch Nkwe, Director of Cricket South Africa stated that they look forward to seeing him represent the national cricket team in the truncated version of the game. “Quinton 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 over the years. We wish him well for the future but still look forward to seeing him represent the Proteas in T20I cricket,” Enoch Nkwe, Director of Cricket South Africa said. The 30-year-old Johannesburg-born cricketer played 140 ODIs for the Rainbow Nation. Overall, he scored 5966 runs at an average of 44.9.
