In their most recent Test series against India, South Africa demonstrated their strength as never before, winning the first match by an innings before losing the second. But since then, events have raised doubts about the nation's viability in Test cricket. While their first-choice stars are all playing in the SA20 T20 league, South Africa announced that an uncapped player will captain their second-string team for their upcoming two-Test series in New Zealand. Former captain Dean Elgar announced his retirement from international cricket following the series against India, citing a lack of Test matches in a timely manner.
