Johan Botha the new Twenty20 SA Captain!
We all knew this was coming..
If Graeme Smiths’ tweet is to be believed Johan Botha is the new Captain of the South African Twenty20 team:
Congrats to him!
This follows after the ODI skipper surprised his coach and most of the country by stepping down from T20 captaincy “ to prolong his Test career”. I think this is a great idea!
The appointment should be confirmed a bit later today or on Monday - I am keeping my one eye on http://www.sport24.co.za/Cricket/ for the official anouncement.
UPDATE: Supersport just confirmed the appointment:
“Johan was the unanimous choice of the Board,” commented CSA CEO Gerald Majola, “and we have every confidence that he will do an excellent job leading up to the next edition of the ICC World Twenty20 in2012.”
Cheers,
Dries.
Thanks to SuperSportCric for the RT otherwise I would not have picked this up..
