Who was named as captain for South Africa's first international match after readmission?

Asked by Salil .. in Cricket & Other Sports at 10:41 AM on December 01, 2008

Satyakam's Answer

Clive Rice. Clive Rice was one of South Africa's great all-rounders and was severely hampered by SA's lack of test cricket during the 70's and 80's. He had captained South Africa in the rebel tours against Australia and England and was a natural choice to lead his country on readmission. It came as quite a shock to many then when he was discarded after the tour to India, being replaced as captain by Kepler Wessels, and was not even named in the World Cup squad.
