Cricket South Africa's director of cricket, Enoch Nkwe, said Proteas batter Rassie van der Dussen hasn't retired from red-ball cricket even though he signed a contract with the organisation that sees him playing white-ball cricket exclusively for the next year.

Van der Dussen is one of four players among the 20 contracted men's players at CSA who have white-ball contracts that make them eligible to play T20 and ODI cricket.
