I was losing my hunger to win games for this team: Quinton de Kock
"I think prior to my retirement, I was losing my hunger to win games for this team. That time away just brought back my hunger. I was telling the guys, I don't think I've ever felt this way," de Kock spoke in depth about his reasons for an international comeback.
"Now coming back, I feel like this is actually what I missed. Everyone knows, you never know what you have until you've lost it. Now coming back, there's a renewed energy where I feel I can play much longer than what I thought previously," said the elegant left-hander.
"When I left, I was quite exhausted from international cricket. So, my break, I still feel, was much needed. So when I came back now, I've got a lot of energy, I feel I can put back towards the team.
De Kock, having immense experience in international cricket, said it was just a matter of getting back as a batsman and doing a bit as he was back in international cricket. For him, the transition felt very simple.
