Aiden Markram is the new captain of the South Africa T20 team. Besides, JP Duminy has been appointed as the batting coach, and Rory Kleinveldt is the bowling coach. While Duminy was appointed as the permanent coach, Kleinveldt took charge only for the Windies series. Markram was announced as the captain ahead of the T20 series at home against the West Indies. Previous captain Temba Bavuma has been dropped from the squad. Fap du Plessis is also out

In 2014, Duminy’s leadership led South Africa to win the Under-19 World Cup. He also recently led Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the SA T20 League. His leadership also saw the franchise win its maiden SA20 title. That is why the selectors have faith in him. Earlier in 2018, he also led the South Africa ODI team in the absence of du Plessis. However, Seva’s captaincy affected his performance. At that time he scored only 118 runs at an average of 23.60 in five matches.

The first T20 match will be played on March 25 and the second on March 26 at Centurion. Then the third and final T20 of the series will be played in Johannesburg on March 26.
