Bavuma is the Test captain of South Africa

Temba Bavuma is leading the white-ball South African cricket team. While there are many questions about the presence of this top-order batsman in the team, there are strong criticisms about the captaincy. In the last T20 World Cup as well, he had to face severe criticism. But Bavuma, who went ahead and bypassed those criticisms, also got the captaincy of the Test team.

Bavuma has been confirmed as the captain of the Test team by the South African Cricket Board. With this, the responsibility of leading the Proteas in all three formats fell on the shoulders of this batsman. From the upcoming Test series against the West Indies, Bavuma will take the field as the captain in the white jersey. The Protea board has already announced a 15-member strong team for this home series.

However, Bavuma is not interested in leading South Africa in all three formats. In that case, he is willing to resign in any format. It is known that this Protea is stepping down from the T20 captaincy. Because South Africa could not get good results under his leadership in this format in recent times. His team could not get the expected results in the last T20 World Cup.

The new captain will be seen in the upcoming T20 series against the West Indies. But after Bavuma’s resignation, it is not yet known who will lead the team. So far, South Africa has not announced the team for the T20 series. However, there is a possibility of Bavuma being dropped from the T20 team after leaving the leadership. Because, in recent times, he is not in form in this format.

Note that the West Indies will tour South Africa at the end of this month. Where the Caribbean will play two Tests, three ODIs and three T20 matches against the hosts. The match between the two teams will begin on February 28 with a test match. After that, the ODI and T20 series will be held on the field. The matches of this complete series will be held in multiple venues.
