Quinton de Kock, South Africa's star wicketkeeper-batsman, has announced his retirement from Test cricket.
29-year-old Quinton de Kock's surprise decision comes after South Africa lost to India by 113 runs in the first Test at Centurion's SuperSport Park.
Quinton de Kock has scored 34 runs in the first innings of the Centurion Test and 21 runs in the second innings.
The former Test captain's brilliance as a wicket-keeper has given him a different identity on the world stage, with 232 dismissals, 221 catches, and 11 stumpings.
De Kock has also taken the third-most catches in the inaugural ICC World Test Championship - 48 in 11 matches (47 catches and 1 stumping) and made history by taking six wickets in an innings against England at Centurion in 2019.
