One of the batting mainstays of the South African lineup, Faf du Plessis and his wife Imari du Plessis are basking in joy on the birth of their second girl child. On Thursday, the couple welcomed their newborn and named him as Zoey du Plessis.
The cricketer had tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend Imari in 2013 at Kleine Zalze and they were blessed with their first child, Amelia du Plessis in 2017. The Proteas cricketer had given the training camp organised by Cricket South Africa (CSA) this week a miss to be with his wife during the birth of their child.
Sharing this delightful news with his fans via his Instagram handle, the South Africa skipper posted a picture with his wife and captioned it as, “The Miracle of a new life coming into this world makes me stop and just be in awe of creation and how perfectly and wonderfully we are created. Welcome Zoey to this wonderful world. We will love you unconditionally and I will protect with everything I have . Love you.”
