Kallis still wants to represent South Africa in Tests and ODIs in the future
South Africa all-rounder Jacques Kallis is still interested in playing Test cricket and ODIs for his country, despite announcing that he will be skipping the Champions Trophy due to personal reasons, according to his manager Dave Rundle.
Amla has not enjoyed his time as vice-captain at all
South Africa batsman Hashim Amla is highly likely to step down as the vice-captain of the limited overs squad after it was revealed that he declined a request from Cricket South Africa to lead the national team in their recently concluded ODI series against New Zealand when regular skipper AB de Villiers was banned for two matches due to a slow over rate.
De Villiers has already admitted that being in the outfield is much harder
South Africa ODI captain AB de Villiers has announced that he will be giving up wicketkeeping in limited overs matches since he is unable to deal with the burden of having to stand behind the stumps, come in as a specialist batsman and lead the team all at once.
Tsolekile still does not fully understand why he was dropped during the New Zealand Test series
South Africa convenor of selectors Andrew Hudson has admitted that wicketkeeper Thami Tsolekile was supposed to replace batsman AB de Villiers behind the stumps for the New Zealand Test series, but he was denied the opportunity after de Villiers announced that he would like to continue donning the gloves for the Proteas.
Kleinveldt will be looking to make a huge impact in his maiden Test match
Coming off a massive win against England this summer, which earned them the right to be called the number one Test team in the world, South Africa have been looking to retain the same squad they had during their upcoming tour of Australia.
South Africa are hoping that de Villiers will be fit in time for the Australia series
With their tour of Australia getting ever closer, South Africa have announced that it is highly likely they will be selecting two wicketkeepers for their tour after AB de Villiers re-aggravated two of his old injuries during the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Twenty20.
Kallis has represented South Africa in the World Twenty20 previously
Veteran South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis has been included in the 15-man squad that will represent the country at the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Twenty20 next month in Sri Lanka.
South Africa have announced that three uncapped players are to be included in the squad when they face India in a one-off Twenty20 International.
