Markram replaces Bavuma as Proteas T20 captain, Duminy and Kleinveldt named as coaches

Aiden Markram was on Monday named as the Proteas' new T20 captain as Cricket South Africa confirmed the squads for the upcoming T20 and ODI series against the West Indies.

The 28-year-old batsman takes over from Temba Bavuma, who stepped down as South Africa's T20 captain last month. Bavuma, who remains the ODI captain, also didn't crack a nod in the T20 squad as playing member.

Other notable appointments included the confirmation of JP Duminy as full-time white-ball batting coach and Rory Kleinveldt as interim white-ball bowling coach.

Markram boasts a wealth of leadership experience having previously led South Africa at Under-19 level in 2014. He also captained at provincial and franchise level. Last month, he lead the Sunrisers Eastern Cape to the inaugural SA20 title.

"I would like to congratulate Aiden on his appointment as captain of the Proteas T20I team," said CSA's director of cricket, Enoch Nkwe, in a statement.

"Leadership is extremely familiar to him having successfully led on so many levels. He is a player that inspires confidence and he has all the qualities to succeed in the role. We have no doubt he will help take South Africa to the next level.

"At the same time, we would like to thank Temba for filling the position so aptly over the past two years. He has done a commendable job during this period and now has a new role to fulfil within the national set-up."
