South Africa's wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock has announced his retirement from Test cricket with immediate effect. The announcement came hours after India beat South Africa by 113 runs in the opening Test of the three-match series in Centurion on Thursday. Cricket South Africa (CSA) released a statement by De Kock on Thursday conveying his decision to retire from Tests. "This is not a decision that I have come to very easily. I have taken a lot of time to think about what my future looks like and what needs to take priority in my life now that Sasha and I are about to welcome our first child into this world and look to grow our family beyond that. My family is everything to me and I want to have the time and space to be able to be with them during this new and exciting chapter of our lives," De Kock stated.
"I love Test cricket and I love representing my country and all that it comes with. I've enjoyed the ups and the downs, the celebrations and even the disappointments, but now I've found something that I love even more.
