It don't work that way
Cricket South Africa has rejected claims in the local media that a decision has been taken to appoint separate captains for Tests and ODIs.
"This is pure media speculation and does not emanate from Cricket South Africa," said CEO, Gerald Majola following reports that separate captains would be in the country`s interest.
The speculation came to the fore after Johan Botha guided South Africa to the ODI series victory against Australia in the absence of the injured Smith, who led the team to the Test series triumph Down Under.
"Cricket South Africa`s position is straight forward and has not changed. The Board appoints its captains and vice-captains at the start of every season and those individuals remain in charge for the duration of that season unless they retire, resign or become unavailable for some other reason such as a long-term injury.”
"This has clearly not happened in this case and CSA has full confidence in its leadership group who did a brilliant job in all formats of the game during the recent tour of Australia. The current media speculation is unfounded and has no factual basis," said Majola.
Australia will visit South Africa for three Tests, two Twenty20 matches and five One-dayers and at stake is the number elite position in Test rankings
