De Villiers named wicketkeeper for tests against England (Yahoo Sports)

[ASFN Admin]

AB de Villiers will be behind the wickets for the first two tests of the Proteas' four-match home series against England starting this month as South Africa selectors rework their lineup after a disappointing tour of India. The world's top-ranked test side lost a four-match series in India 3-0 last week when it failed to score more than 214 in a single innings, leading the selectors to return to a policy of picking seven specialist batsmen. As a result, De Villiers was named as wicketkeeper on Thursday, with wicketkeeper-batsmen Quinton de **** and Dane Vilas selected for the South Africa A side that will face England in its second and final warm-up match.
