Rob Walter, the white-ball coach for South Africa, has acknowledged that, like everyone else, he doesn't know anything about Quinton de Kock's future on the international scene.
In 2021, De Kock announced his retirement from Test cricket, and at the ODI World Cup, he concluded his 50-over career. Though national white-ball coach Rob Walter feels de Kock has more to give, it was anticipated that the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA would be his final T20I match.
"Quinny's an enigma. He hasn't officially called time. So we have that little glimmer of hope that sits in the background. Quinny has very high standards for himself and has dreamed about a World Cup win for a very long time. Has had a number of knocks along the way, not least this last final, You would have seen that he was very emotional with it. Whether we see him again, time will tell,” Walter said.
Walter attested that he had not discussed de Kock's future with him directly and it’s not the right time to talk after a heart-breaking lose against India by 7 runs in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 final on June 29.
"I've had no conversations with him. It wasn't the right time after the final to have that conversation. So let me leave it at saying your guess is as good as mine,” Walter added.
