AB de Villiers has been appointed South Africa’s permanent Test captain following a two-match stand-in stint against England. CSA’s board were due to debate the decision over the winter period but moved the process forward after a board meeting in Johannesburg on Friday.
De Villiers’ first assignment will be the two-Test series against New Zealand in August.
CSA also announced a list of 18 contracted players. Temba Bavuma, Farhaan Behardien and Rilee Rossouw were awarded deals for the first time with Ryan McLaren and Lonwabo Tsotosbe losing their contracts.
