THE Board of Directors of Cricket South Africa (CSA) today approved the recommendation of the National Selection Panel to appoint Faf du Plessis as captain of the Standard Bank ODI squad with immediate effect.

He takes the place of AB de Villiers who had resigned as the captain. Du Plessis will thus captain the Proteas in all three formats.

“Congratulations to Faf on his appointment as the natural successor to the ODI leadership,” commented CSA Chief Executive, Haroon Lorgat. “He has established himself as one of the best leaders in world cricket and this was reflected in his appointment as the captain for the World XI currently engaged in the T20 Series against Pakistan.”

His first series in charge of the ODI squad will be against Bangladesh next month.
 
Wow - wonderful things happening with Faf!

Congratulations to him
 
Best choice really although South Africa are going through a pretty rough patch at the moment.

The things are not looking good for them really due to transformation targets and if you see Global T20 League(no transformation targets) even semi professional white players were selected over black players
 
The best choice. Congrats to Faf, him and De Kock are my favourite South African players.
