Proteas red-ball coach Shukri Conrad said he's considering fielding four pacers for next week's Test against the West Indies at SuperSport Park in Centurion.
Temba Bavuma's promotion from Proteas Test deputy to sheriff, along with Dean Elgar's consequent demotion, is in no way an issue of one player's leadership capabilities being better than the other.
Temba Bavuma was on Friday named the first black African captain of South Africa's Test squad in what Cricket South Africa described as "part of a restructure within the leadership group of the national team". Dean Elgar was axed as captain, although he remains a member of the squad which starts a series against the West Indies on February 28. Chief selector Victor Mpitsang was another casualty of the shake-up, with CSA stating he had been "released" from the role. Bavuma became the first black African to captain South Africa at cricket when he was named leader of the one-day international and Twenty20 international teams in March 2021.
JOHANNESBURG : Middle-order batsman Temba Bavuma has been named as the new captain of the South African test team for the two-match series against West Indies, but has relinquished leadership of the T20 side, officials confirmed on Friday.
SA20 commissioner Graeme Smith praised Temba Bavuma's attitude in opening up a gig for himself in the league, citing that example as justification for the organisers and Cricket South Africa (CSA) not getting involved in franchise selection matters.
Faf du Plessis has implored Temba Bavuma to continue riding his wave of good form after he went a long way towards justifying his belated inclusion in the SA20 at the Wanderers on Sunday.
