CAPE TOWN: Temba Bavuma has been named South Africa’s new Test skipper as part of Cricket Soth Africa’s (CSA) restructuring of the leadership group, taking over from Dean Elgar. Bavuma, who has been retained as the ODI captain, will take over the Test leadership starting from the upcoming series against the West Indies. The 32-year-old, however, relinquished the T20I leadership, with the new T20I captain to be revealed when the white-ball squads for the series against West Indies are announced.

This will be followed by a three-match ODI series starting on March 16 and three T20Is beginning on March 25. The series concludes on March 28, three days before the start of IPL 2023.
