JOHANNESBURG - The stress of lockdown hasn’t affected Quinton de Kock, who became the seventh player to be recognised twice as South Africa’s Cricketer of the Year on Saturday.
De Kock is part of the 45-man high performance group that was supposed to go back to training in the nets last week. The likes of Kagiso Rabada, Rassie van der Dussen, Temba Bavuma, Reeza Hendricks and Tabraiz Shamsi have loved being back in the nets, but De Kock is cut from a somewhat different cloth.“I’ve kept up with fitness; done training in the gym, but not hit a ball yet.
Last season saw De Kock produce some excellent performances in what was otherwise a sorry summer for the Proteas, largely the result of administrative mismanagement that still hasn’t been properly resolved by Cricket SA.“There were a lot of changes after the World Cup.“Then there were a lot of changes; it’s always difficult. I found a way mentally to get past it. Playing for a high-profile team, you go through those difficult times and changes, but we got through it.
