He says he will go with whatever the new coach decides

Walter and director of cricket Enoch Nkwe have said there will be a different captain for the 2027 World Cup SA will host. But Bavuma’s future in the role is likely to be scrutinised well before then, with a possible change ahead of this year’s World Cup and the qualifying tournament, which SA could play in Zimbabwe in June. “I’ve never made it about me, it’s always been about the team.

“The coach will have his vision and will need somebody to drive that vision. At the moment, the coach has entrusted me with that role [as captain] with the 50-over stuff. “There is no better opportunity for us to test our skills and test our new way of wanting to do things.” In the past two weeks I’ve been taking it really easy, connecting with family, it’s been really relaxing. I’ve watched one or two games of the SA20 — it looks like fun.“We’ve seen in Test cricket that you don’t get five-day Tests any more. Guys are taking on the game a lot more and England have done that very well in the past couple of years.

Bavuma’s body language and tone was a far cry from the anguished figure that addressed local media after the team’s shocking exit from the T20 World Cup in November. There has, he said, also been an acceptance from the players about possibly having to go through a qualifying tournament to secure their World Cup spot.
