Former Proteas wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock and his wife Sasha are expecting their second child, with the baby due in the new year.
The couple broke the news through a joint Instagram post, sharing a series of family photographs in which Sasha's baby bump is clearly visible.
Their daughter Kiara, now three years old, features in the images and will become an older sibling when the new arrival joins the family. Based on what appears to be a gender reveal in the post, the couple are expecting a boy.
De Kock family grows
De Kock and Sasha welcomed Kiara in January 2022. Her birth prompted De Kock to step away from South Africa's ODI series against India at the time, choosing to be present with his family.
The couple's second pregnancy has been warmly received, with fans and fellow cricketers offering congratulatory messages in the comments section of the post.

New chapter after international retirement
The announcement arrives at a transitional point in De Kock's professional life. The 33-year-old retired from Test cricket in 2021 and brought his ODI career to a close following the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, though he subsequently returned to the 50-over format in late 2025. He has continued to participate in T20 franchise leagues across the world in the interim.
Across his international career, De Kock established himself as one of South Africa's most celebrated wicketkeeper-batsmen, contributing across all three formats for the Proteas over many years. Away from the sport, he is known to be an avid fisherman.
