South African wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock has reversed his retirement from ODI cricket and been recalled to South Africa's white-ball squads for next month’s tour of Pakistan, as well as a one-off T20I against Namibia.

De Kock had stepped away from the 50-over format after the 2023 ODI World Cup, with his last appearance for South Africa coming in the 2024 T20 World Cup final in Barbados. While he never formally announced a T20!I retirement, he was overlooked in subsequent squads and former coach Rob Walter had admitted uncertainty over his future.

In the meantime, de Kock stayed active on the global T20 circuit, most recently in the Caribbean Premier League.
