'I don't know, to be dead honest,' says Walter on De Kock's T20I future with South Africa

De Kock announced his retirement from Test cricket back in 2021 and moved on from ODIs as well after a brilliant ICC Cricket World Cup in India last year, in which he scored four centuries and took South Africa to the semis. After playing some fine knocks in Proteas' runners-up finish to India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, the left-hander missed three T20Is against West Indies last month and will also not feature in the two matches against Ireland this month. After these two bilateral contests in November, Proteas will be playing four T20Is at home against India to prepare for the T20 World Cup 2026 to be held in India and Sri Lanka. De Kock also does not have a central contract.
