    Quinton de Kock retires from Test cricketThe 29-year-old highlighted his intentions to spend more time with his family. As a result, he made up his mind to not play red-ball cricket ever again in his career. However, the wicketkeeper-batter will still continue to help the team in the white-ball formats.

    The former Proteas all-format captain represented his country in 54 Tests. The southpaw aggregated 3300 runs at an average of 38.8 including his career-best score of an unbeaten 141. He slammed six centuries and 22 half-centuries in the longest format.

    Quinton played a quintessential role as a wicketkeeper-batsman for South Africa. He took as many as 221 catches while also affecting 11 stumpings followed by a run-out. The cricketer was part of the first Test match against India at SuperSport Park in Centurion.

    He scored 34 runs with the help of 3 fours and a six in the first innings and then followed it up with 21 (2 fours) in the second innings. However, little did everyone know that this was his last Test match in the South African outfit. 

    India went on to win the game by 113 runs and registered their first Test win at Centurion. KL Rahul who scored 123 runs in the first innings was named the Man of the Match.
