Rumours are rife that the Black Caps could have a new captain when they face South Africa in just over two weeks.

New Zealand Cricket is reviewing the side's recent tour of Sri Lanka, with Ross Taylor's captaincy among the matters being looked at.

The Black Caps won just one out of the five completed matches of the tour, but the test win was New Zealand's first in Sri Lanka since 1998.

Cricket fans have been speculating about the captaincy on social media sites like Twitter, with some suggesting Ross Taylor will step down, and others saying he will get the sack.
