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.
