Faf du Plessis does not support a move towards four-day Test matches, despite a statement by CSA that it was official policy to support a reduced format.

Du Plessis said there were different points of view."I understand that a lot of money is being burnt on five-day cricket because so many Test matches are not going five days. People will sit 50-50 on it. My personal opinion is that I am still a purist of the game because I have been part of some great draws that went five days."
Asked to elaborate, a spokesman for CSA said he was not aware whether CSA had taken a formal decision to support a suggestion that the World Test Championship should consist of four-day matches from 2023. The proposal appears to have the support of England and Australia.Proteas lose Du Plessis in fight for survival at Newlands
