Russell Domingo to work closely with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Faf-du-Plessis-c1427 – Cricket News Update
As Faf du Plessis prepares to lead the side against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Russell-c87177 Domingo, heaped praise on the inform player and is hopeful of developing his own relationship with the new T20 captain in the coming days.
In a bid to push younger players in the T20 side and manage the workload of some of the old hands, the Proteas appointed du Plessis as the stand-in skipper for the three-match T20I series, further elevating Domingo to take the hot seat in the absence of
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gary-Kirsten-c58527.
Kirsten’s non-involvement means that Domingo will be heading the preparation and daily affairs of the T20 unit, giving the latter extended powers and a chance to embed his own culture into the side.
For Domingo, the primary task is creating a strong working relationship with du Plessis. The latter was given the role after Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Allan-Robert-Border-c43726 de Villiers’ workload, which had considerably increased in the wake of Mark Boucher’s retirement.
De Villiers has struggled with a persistent back injury, and in order to remain fit for the subsequent Test series, decided to pull out of the T20 contests despite being included as a specialist batsman.
Du Plessis now has the extended task of leading a relatively new-look side, which further does not have the services of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 at
Adelaide.
The player has further captained the A side, when they took on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 A in June. Domingo is looking forward to help du Plessis settle in his new role.
"Faf has captained A sides and schools teams so he has got leadership skills," Domingo said. "The relationship between us as captain and coach is still in its infancy. We have got a good relationship as assistant coach and player so the relationship will
need to develop a lot more. We get on really well and we both have similar thoughts on the game and how it needs to be played and I have been very impressed with what he has offered so far."
