Speaking on his YouTube channel former Pakistan captain Salman Butt said that the players taking sudden retirement spoil the balance of the team. He said:

“Quinton de Kock had been playing strange cricket for the last year and a half. He came to Pakistan as captain but did not continue in the role afterwards. Now, after playing one Test, he has announced his (Test) retirement. Such things spoil the team’s balance, the selection policy and affect the captain’s mindset.”

Butt added that cricketers have made sudden retirement a drama, he lashed out at De Kock and asked why a player don’t think about family while playing overseas T20 leagues. He said:

“Players have made sudden retirement a drama. Don’t you think of family when you play overseas leagues for nearly 2 months? Why is it that only Test cricket comes in the way? You are playing cricket in your own country in South Africa. This lack of interest is related to league cricket.”
