De Kock, who retired from Tests in December 2021, will remain available for T20I cricket.

“Quinton has been a really good servant to South African cricket. He set the benchmark with his attacking batting style and was a key member of the squad for a number of years,” said Cricket South Africa director of cricket Enoch Nkwe.

“He also wore the captain’s armband and that is an honour that very few people get to hold.

“We understand his decision to step back from ODI cricket and we want to thank him for his service over the years. We wish him well for the future but still look forward to seeing him represent the Proteas in T20I cricket.”

De Kock was recently signed by the Melbourne Renegades for the 2023-24 Big Bash League in Australia.
