As per South African media reports, Quinton de Kock is in contention to return to the side when Temba Bavuma names his team for the IND vs SA 4th T20. De Kock had played the first T20 but missed the next two citing a wrist injury. In his absence, Heinrich Klassen was drafted in to keep wickets.
Earlier, de Kock was considered to be ruled out of the series with CSA chief Graeme Smith hinting that the Proteas would not risk him with the England tour ahead. “The injury is a little serious from what I hear. I don’t think he will take any further part in the series as South Africa won’t risk him ahead of the England Tour,” Graeme Smith said at the post-match show on Star Sports.
