In the world of cricket, we have seen many players return to international cricket after retiring. Many Pakistani players have done this before, but this time, there is a strange situation. A player who retired 5 years ago had to come back to the field because his team was in trouble. This player is none other than South Africa’s former star, JP Duminy. JP Duminy was seen suddenly playing in an international match.
What happened?
A three-match ODI series is being played between South Africa and Ireland. South Africa won the first two matches, but in the third match, something happened that surprised the fans. JP Duminy was seen fielding in the game. Duminy is currently the coach of the South African team.
This series is happening in the UAE, where the weather is very hot. During the third match, South African players got very tired due to the heat. Because of a shortage of players, coach Duminy had to step in and field.
How was Duminy’s career?
JP Duminy is one of South Africa’s greatest players. He did many amazing things in cricket. He retired from international cricket in September 2019.
