Faf du Plessis admitted that the Wanderers Test could conclude his last home series in whites.

The Proteas captain sat in front of the media deflated as his side suffered an innings and 53-run defeat to England.

With all the talk surrounding his future as captain and his place in the side, Du Plessis answered the question that a lot of people were wondering: Will the Wanderers be his last home Test?

“I have committed until the T20 World Cup,” said du Plessis. “There isn’t a lot of Test cricket left this year – one massive Test where we need everyone to be as strong as possible, [and] afterwards there is quite a big gap.

“I have said before, there is an opportunity to release some of the captaincy. Two Test matches in the West Indies [in July], and the rest of the year is white-ball stuff. Most probably after that, Test cricket will be something that won’t see me.

“That’s a decision I will make then. For me now it’s to be as strong as possible.”

He admitted that there is “a possibility” that the fourth Test at the Wanderers would be his last at home.

“I don’t think that’s what’s leadership is about. I felt that the team has needed a leader to stand up and guide the ship through a difficult time.

“If you leave the team when they need you most, that’s not my style. I have been under pressure a few times and I’ve played my best innings under pressure.

“I can’t leave the team when they need me most. We are in a transition but I can’t do it forever. It has been chipping away at your character. For now, that’s what we need. I think it will make it worse if I say I’m out.”
