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.
Proteas white ball captain Temba Bavuma has been snapped up by Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the SA20 following an impressive ODI series showing against England.

Temba Bavuma has come to the defence of both the Proteas and England bowling attacks after they were generally carted to all parts in the ODI series, which concluded with a consolation 59-run here for the visitors on Wednesday night.
English allrounder, Sam Curran, was on Tuesday fined 15 percent of his match fee by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for his send-off of Proteas captain Temba Bavuma during the second ODI in Bloemfontein.
Proteas limited overs captain Temba Bavuma backed the call to rest in-form pacer Sisanda Magala, saying it was part of their plan for the series.
