Without precedent for 18 years, South Africa's selectors will pick a Test squad without one of its assurances. Jacques Kallis' retirement has left a crevice numerous have said will be difficult to fill.
While its comprehended a player of his size can't be swapped, South Africa need to, as Shaun Pollock said, figure out how to advance without him as fast as could be expected under the circumstances. They have a great deal to contemplate as they look for another procedure in the post-Kallis period.
The primary thought is the No. 4 spot. For quite some time, it was thought AB de Villiers was being prepared for that part. De Villiers is the most preposterously skilled and adjustable batsman in South Africa's line-up and is fit for exchanging between the two most imperative parts in that position: he scores runs under weight (like at Headingley 2008, and in Hamilton 2012 and Johannesburg 2013) and is the best individual to have available when there is a stage to take off from (Perth 2012 being a champion delineation).
However de Villiers is not a programmed pick for No. 4 in light of the fact that he is as of now intensely troubled. He keeps wicket and is likewise the group's bad habit skipper; there's additionally an in number chance he will inevitably succeed Graeme Smith, yet despite the fact that that is not up and coming, it is something to tolerate as a top priority for the long haul.
