South Africa names Quinton de Kock as test skipper
Durban: Quinton de Kock will lead the South African Test squad for the 2020/2021 season, Cricket South Africa confirmed on Friday.
The decision comes as Cricket South Africa (CSA) also names the squad that will take on Sri Lanka in the two-match, Betway Test Series to be played over the traditional Boxing Day and the New Year’s windows.
The fixtures will form part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC).
De Kock’s appointment for this season is motivated by the light Test cricket load on this season, with the Proteas only playing three series against Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Australia respectively.
The National Selection Panel led by Convenor of Selectors, Victor Mpitsang, is confident of De Kock’s leadership capabilities and the leadership he has shown so far and will spend the next few months finalizing the appointment of the player who will take on the permanent role.
