Theunis de Bruyn of South Africa leaves international cricket

Theunis de Bruyn, a batsman for South Africa, has announced his retirement from international cricket, citing the need to concentrate on "the next chapter." The 30-year-old played for South Africa in 13 Tests and two T20 Internationals after making his debut in a T20 International match against Sri Lanka in January 2017.

In the 25 Test innings, De Bruyn only managed one century, which came in Colombo against Sri Lanka in 2018. His final match for South Africa was the Boxing Day Test at the MCG against Australia in 2017, where he scored 12 and 28 as they lost by an innings. Prior to the third Test of the series, he took off home for the birth to his first kid. Bruyn also played for the Pretoria Capitals squad that advanced to the first SA20 competition's championship game.
