Captaincy is not like going for a job interview: Dean Elgar

Dean Elgar believes captaincy is something that is decided by the hierarchy and not something for which players have to apply like a job interview

CAPE TOWN: Veteran South Africa cricketer Dean Elgar believes captaincy is something that is decided by the hierarchy and not something for which players have to apply like a job interview. The captain's position in the longest format has been vacant since Faf du Plessis stepped down as skipper earlier this year and many cricketers are said to be in the running for the top job.

The likes of Aiden Markram and Keshav Maharaj have thrown their hats into the ring but Elgar believes people shouldn't expose themselves by raising their hands for the high-pressure job. IANS
