Cricket: South Africa eager to keep winning

South Africa Twenty20 stand-in captain Faf du Plessis wants his team to carry on the momentum and ride on the success of the series over New Zealand, according Sport24.

Du Plessis said that they look forward to defending their number one position in the longest format of the game when the first of two Tests against the Kiwis starts in Cape Town next week.

“Test cricket is such an awesome test of skill and we are all looking forward to the longer version of the game,” he said. “We are number one in the world now and we don’t want to let the standards we’ve set slip. Personally, I’m really looking forward to joining up with the Test team again because it’s such a special place to play Test cricket.”
