AB de Villiers has stepped down as South Africa's Test captain with immediate effect and has been ruled out of the three Tests against Sri Lanka as he continues to recover from elbow surgery. De Villiers endorsed his stand-in, Faf du Plessis, to take over permanently and the CSA board have confirmed du Plessis' appointment.

Looks like Faf will be the captain. SA may struggle in SL now that AB is ruled out of the series.

 

However, when he rejoins the team, I think it'll be good as he is their best batsman and captaincy seemed to wear on him/he wasn't impressive.
