Cape Town - Proteas head coach, Russell Domingo, says Dean Elgar will bring a ‘gutsy’ attitude as captain for the first Test match against England starting at Lord’s in London on Thursday.
Elgar will stand in for Faf du Plessis - who is unable to lead the side due to family reasons - and will become the 12th player to captain South Africa’s Test team since readmission.
The 30-year-old has become an established member of the Test side since his debut in 2012, and has grown into a tenacious rock at the top of the order.
