Stumped\u2019s Alison Mitchell is joined by South Africa's wicketkeeper Quinton De Kock to discuss why he has decided to retire from one day cricket after the upcoming Cricket World Cup.

Plus he explains why he likes to avoid being in the limelight and his reasons for not \u2018taking the knee\u2019 with the South Africa team at the T20 World Cup two years ago.

De Kock tells Stumped that players \u2018are not just pawns to Cricket South Africa\u2019 and \u2018are becoming their own bosses\u2019.

Also on the programme, Alison Mitchell, Brett Sprigg and Charu Sharma reflect on India ending their five year title drought after thrashing Sri Lanka to lift the Asia Cup title.
