‘Would love to be quarantined with delicious De Kock’

When more than half the world is trying to cope with the coronavirus outbreak by staying away from public gatherings and abiding by strict hygiene routines, South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn, who is 'chilling at home', picked a teammate he would like to be quarantined with. Steyn named current South Africa skipper Quinton de Kock and said he wouldn't mind being isolated with the wicketkeeper-batsman.

"I would love to be in quarantine with someone like Quinny de Kock." Steyn told.

Explaining the reasons behind his choice, Steyn said De Kock is a 'proper cook' and staying with him would allow him to watch all the fishing videos the left-hander watches.

"He is one of my favourite people in the world. If you walk into his (hotel) room, he's either making flies for fishing or he is watching a fishing video or he is watching a cooking video. And when you are at his house, he's doing the same stuff.

"I hate cooking, so it would be great if he was. Because then I could watch all the fishing videos that he's watching, I could help him do all the tying, and he could cook all the food. He's a proper cook," he added.

Steyn feels it's a pity that sporting events are being cancelled en masse due to the crisis as "if you take sport away, then I don't know really what we have."

Steyn, who returned from Pakistan due to the virus outbreak, said it's indescribable how the situation changed in a matter of hours. He was playing for Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League which was suspended on the day of its semifinal clashes.
