Quinton de Kock<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, who was appointed as Proteas Skipper early this year succeeding Faf du Plesis, says he has eased into the South African captaincy in limited overs format. <\/p>\n\n\n

So far, de cock, who has captained the Proteas side in 8 ODIs and taken his team home 4 times with one match abandoned, feels the South African T20 side is on the right track for this year’s T20 World Cup in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n

The South African skipper says he is taking things slowly and trying to learn more about the game.<\/p>\n\n\n

“I took it pretty slowly, I am still trying to get a feel of how to go about things. I have learnt quite a bit and I didn’t do too badly,” he said in audio released by Cricket South Africa on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n

The left handed batsman believes a win over Power packed Kangaroos was special.<\/p>\n\n\n

“The series against Australia … we had quite a young team and they had a powerhouse side, so for us to beat them 3-0 was a highlight.” Said  proteas Skipper.<\/p>\n\n\n

He further added, “It was more about taking it step-by-step, not just throwing out what I think straight away to the team. We are busy rebuilding as a limited overs team, especially ODIs. Twenty20 I think we know what is going on.”<\/p>\n\n\n

The South African team currently, depends upon de Kock\u2019s batting across all the formats. The skipper, however, wants to improve his batting a little more. There was a time when he was not able to coverts his starts into big scores, especially in the test series against England.<\/p>\n\n\n

“I want to get better, to start scoring big hundreds for the team; that is the most important thing to get going now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n

However, on the question regarding the scheduled West Indies tour, South African Skipper, said it\u2019s just a matter of waiting to get the action resumed.<\/p>\n\n\n

“I\u2019m not sure what will happen, every country has their regulations they must adhere to. It is just a matter of waiting for this to go past and then we can get on with the game again,” De Kock said.<\/p>\n\n\n
