Quinton de Kock has reversed his decision to retire from international cricket and has been included in the Proteas' T20 and 50-over squads for the Proteas tour to Pakistan next month.
De Kock, 32, has been mulling over a return for a few months and has signed a contract with the DP World Lions, where he started his professional career as a 16-year-old in 2009.
De Kock last appeared for the Proteas in the final of the T20 World Cup in Barbados a year ago, and then stepped away from the international arena. He had retired from Test cricket in the middle of a series with India in 2021, at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, citing family commitments, shortly before the birth of his daughter.
