Russell Domingo said that his team is ready to move on from the drawn last Test where they almost chased an improbable target of 458 runs.

Sachin Tendulkar, who retired from international cricket last month was very successful during India's last tour of South Africa in 2010-11 where he scored two centuries in three Test matches.

Domingo said it was unlikely any major alterations would be made to their starting XI for the first Test against India at the Wanderers, Johannesburg on December 18.

Russell Domingo took over as coach in August from Gary Kirsten. Domingo is the first person of colour to take charge of the national team.

Jacques Kallis has played 321 ODIs for South Africa since 1996. He has scored 11498 runs with 17 hundreds and a best of 139.

Pakistan took a shock 1-0 lead in the two-match series with a seven-wicket victory in the first Test to hand South Africa their first defeat in the last 16 matches and puts in danger their seven-year record of not losing a Test series away from home.

Kallis knows his body's limitations but is confident of playing the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Says he remains committed to the national side.

Kallis's last ODI appearance for South Africa was in February last year against New Zealand. Former coach Gary Kirsten had left the window open for him to return to the squad despite not playing bilateral series as he was more important in Test cricket. Domingo, however, has made no such promises.

The Proteas' resources were found wanting in the tough Sri Lankan conditions, with Domingo confirming that a lot of introspection and decisions need to be made looking ahead to the future series and the ICC World Cup in 2015.

Shafiek Abrahams, who like Hudson represented the Proteas at full international level, has been retained on the panel which is completed by the ex officio appointment of Russell Domingo as the Proteas head coach.
