"Quinton de Kock has announced his retirement from ODI cricket following the conclusion of the ICC @cricketworldcup in India," the CSA wrote.

The 30-year-old de Kock stunned the cricketing world in December 2021 by announcing his sudden retirement from Test cricket, insisting that he wants to spend more time with his young family.

The left-handed batter was rested from the recently-concluded T20I series against Australia which South Africa lost 0-3.

But, he is expected to feature in the five-match ODI series against Australia, starting September 7.

De Kock played 54 Tests and scored 3300 runs with a best knock of 141 not out. He also represented South Africa in 140 ODIs and 80 T20 Internationals, amassing 5966 and 2277 runs respectively.
