The Titans batter who recently featured for the Pretoria Capitals in the inaugural SA20 represented South Africa in 13 Tests and two T20 Internationals. He scored 468-runs in Test cricket at an average of 19.50 and he scored one Test century. 

“I’ve been fortunate to represent my country at the highest level of cricket and that’s been the proudest moment of my career. The bonds I’ve formed, lessons I’ve learnt, skills I’ve developed and my growth as a human being would not have been possible without the experience of playing international cricket.

“I’ve lived a childhood dream, shared dressing rooms with my hero’s and played cricket at some of the world’s most iconic venues; and I can’t say thank you enough for the opportunities I’ve got through this game.

“Looking back at everything that I’ve achieved, it is time I say goodbye to international cricket and focus on the next chapter.

“I’m excited for what the future has to offer and looking forward to chasing more dreams and ambitions in life.

“Thank you to everyone that’s been involved throughout my journey and best wishes to the Proteas and Cricket South Africa for what lies ahead!”

De Bruyn made his Test debut against New Zealand in Hamilton in 2017 and his lasted Test was the recent Boxing Day Test against Australia at the MCG in Melbourne.
