JP Duminy will retire from ODI cricket after the 2019 World Cup. The South African all-rounder, however, will be available for selection for South Africa for T20Is. The all-rounder had already retired from Test cricket in September 2017 after featuring in 46 matches.
"The last few months on the sidelines have given me an opportunity to re-assess my career going forward and to plot some goals I'd like to achieve in the future," he said about his decision.
"While a decision like this is never easy, I also feel that it is the right time for me to pass on the baton. I will still be available to play international and domestic T20 cricket, but would also like to invest more time towards my growing family, who are my number one priority. I have been privileged to live out my dream playing a sport I love, and I am forever grateful for the support I have received from my teammates, coaches, family, friends and fans throughout the years."
Duminy has played 193 ODIs so far, amassing 5,047 runs at an average of 37.39. He has also bagged 68 wickets.
