South Africa's one-day international (ODI) captain AB de Villiers has claimed he is looking forward the chance to lead the team against New Zealand without the extra pressure of keeping wickets.
De Villiers said he has always felt a bit rushed trying to captain the side and keep wicket, adding he will probably stand at mid-off and be able to communicate with his bowlers a lot better as well as get a better perspective of the game.
De Villiers had been in charge of the one-day team since 2011 and had conducted affairs in all 13 of those matches from behind the wicket, Sport24 reports.
