South Africa flip-flop over captain: Jacques Kallis replaces Prince
It was only yesterday that Cricket South Africa (CSA) had announced Ashwell Prince as the stand-in captain for the 3rd and final test match against Australia at Capetown. Now the South Africa Cricket board has done a flip-flop; Jacques Kallis has replaced Prince as the interim test captain in the place of Graeme Smith, who is down with an injury. Explaining the sudden change, the CSA statement said that the move was made to allow Prince to completely focus on his batting.
Ashwell Prince is the current vice-captain of the squad, though he was overlooked for the first two tests against Australia. Interestingly, Kallis was chosen the captain even in the Sydney Test recently when Smith was injured again.
The 3rd Australia vs South Africa Test starts 19th March. Venue: Newlands, Capetown. You can watch Live Cricket on Ten Sports. Live Telecast Schedule: Match Starts 8:30 GMT, Lunch: 10:30 to 11:10 am, Post-Lunch session: 11:10 am to 1:10 pm, Post-Tea Session: 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.
