- Quinton de Kock will retire from the 50-overs format after the Cricket World Cup but he looks to be going out at the peak of his powers after back-to-back centuries in India fuelled belief that South Africa can be trophy contenders.

"It was a great win for the boys, we assessed conditions well and played accordingly, stuck to our strengths and came out on top," De Kock said. The 30-year-old retired from test cricket two years ago and will bow out of ODIs next month to focus on the lucrative global Twenty20 circuits, a format where he will remain eligible for South Africa with a T20 World Cup looming next year."I think I'm pretty much the same whether retired or not retired. It's just a matter of working on one or two things and going out there and getting it done.
