Aiden Markram has been appointed as the new T20I skipper of South Africa as he replaces Temba Bavuma who resigned from captaincy last month. Markram will be leading the side in the upcoming West Indies series as Cricket South Africa announced the squad for both T20I and ODI. Recently, Sunrisers Eastern Cape lifted the inaugural SA20 title under Markram's leadership.
Both the squads consist of several uncapped players as South Africa will host the West Indies side for a three match ODI and a three match T20I series.
Director of Cricket Enoch Nkwe congratulated the Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper on his new role. “I would like to congratulate Aiden on his appointment as captain of the Proteas T20I team. Leadership is extremely familiar to him having successfully led on so many levels. He is a player that inspires confidence and he has all the qualities to succeed in the role. We have no doubt will help take South Africa to the next level.''
“At the same time, we would like to thank Temba for filling the position so aptly over the past two years. He has done a commendable job during this period and now has a new role to fulfil within the national set-up.”
