Quinton de Kock Will Have A Point To Prove, Feels South Africa Captain Bavuma

By IANS News January 19, 2022 • 11:54 AM View: 1128

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma on Tuesday said that having Quinton de Kock back into the national side has been very good, adding that the wicketkeeper-batter will have a 'point to prove' in the three-match ODI series against South Africa.

The 29-year-old de Kock shocked his teammates and the cricket world when he announced his sudden retirement from Test cricket on December 30, citing family reasons most prominently. Since then, he has been on paternity leave over the last three weeks following the birth of his daughter, but remains available for the shorter formats and will take his spot at the top of the order against India on Wednesday.
