Faf du Plessis, the former South Africa captain, has retired from Test cricket on 17 Feb 2021, after 69 appearances in the format.
With no Test cricket in the immediate future for South Africa, du Plessis wants to "walk into a new chapter" and focus his energies and attention primarily on T20 cricket, keeping in mind the two World Cus scheduled in 2021 and 2022.
Du Plessis made his Test debut for Australia in Adelaide on South Africa's 2012-13 tour, and was named the Player of the Match for his 78 and 110 not out in a memorable draw. He went on to hit ten centuries and 21 half-centuries in Tests, ending with 4163 runs at an average of 40.02.
