Follow usTemba Bavuma will concentrate on his role as test and one day international skipper
Aiden Markram has been named the new captain of South Africa’s Twenty20 international side with former skipper Temba Bavuma axed from the squad to face the West Indies in three matches later this month.
Bavuma will concentrate on his role as test and one day international skipper, with Wednesday’s second five-day game against the touring Caribbean side to be followed by three ODIs between March 16-21.
Fast bowlers Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada have been rested for those matches. Seamer Gerald Coetzee, and batters Tony de Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs have earned first call-ups to the 50-over squad, while there is a return for Ryan Rickelton on the back of some prolific domestic form with the bat.
