Durban:
Cricket South Africa initially named Prince as the stand-in captain in place of its injured regular skipper Graeme Smith.
CSA subsequently issued a fresh statement saying Kallis would lead the side next week when the teams meet at Sahara Park Newlands.
The CSA statement said the decision would help Prince to concentrate on his new position of opening batsman. Kallis had also captained the Proteas in the final Test of the previous Australian tour to South Africa when Smith was injured.
