Kallis resigns SA vice-captaincy

Jacques Kallis has resigned as South Africa's vice-captain and says he is considering his future after being left out of their World Twenty20 squad.

Selectors said Kallis was being rested for the tournament, on home soil in September, but his slow batting was criticised during the World Cup.

"There is a lot of emotion involved because I am extremely disappointed.

"I was very excited about the tournament and hoping to make a huge contribution," said Kallis, 31.

Kallis, who has played 107 Tests and 261 one-day internationals, has been linked in the last year with a possible move to English county cricket.

South African players are able to sidestep overseas player quotas because of the European Court?s Kolpak ruling.

"I feel I have a lot of good cricket left and my best years might even be ahead of me," Kallis added.

"Ideally I would like to play many more years for my country but this weekend caused me to question my future for the first time."
