South Africa's star wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock will call time on his ODI career at the end of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, slated to be held in India from October 5 to November 19.

De Kock’s decision to retire from the 50-over format was confirmed by Cricket South Africa (CSA) in their World Cup squad announcement release on Tuesday (September 5).

Having made his ODI debut in 2013, De Kock has represented the Proteas in 140 games so far, amassing 5966 runs at an average of 44.85 and a strike rate of 96.08. The southpaw has 17 hundreds and 29 half-centuries to his name with the best score of 178.

As a wicket-keeper, Quinton de Kock has affected 183 catches and 14 stumpings in ODIs.

Commenting on De Kock’s decision to retire from ODIs, 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 over the years. We wish him well for the future but still look forward to seeing him represent the Proteas in T20I cricket.”

Quinton de Kock, 30, turned up for South Africa in the 2015 and 2019 editions of ODI World Cup, scoring 450 runs from 17 matches at an average of 30.

South Africa will open their 2023 World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka on October 7 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
