NEW DELHI: Aiden Markram has been appointed the new T20I captain for South Africa with the three–match series against the West Indies later this month being his first assignment. The 28-year-old batter replaced Temba Bavuma, who stepped down as T20I captain last month.
Bavuma will instead concentrate on his role as Test and one day international skipper, with Wednesday’s second five-day game against the touring Caribbean side to be followed by three ODIs between March 16-21.
Fast bowlers Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada have been rested for those matches but will return for the T20 games that will be played from March 25-28.

Seamer Gerald Coetzee, and batters Tony de Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs have earned first call-ups to the 50-over squad, while there is a return for Ryan Rickelton on the back of some prolific domestic form with the bat.
