Alun Wyn Jones is not expected to resume his role as Wales captain this summer.
Jones is poised to be named in Wayne Pivac's squad on Wednesday for the upcoming tour of South Africa, but is likely to only be involved as a senior player rather than a captain, with team-mate Dan Biggar set to continue as skipper. It will be the first time since taking over the captaincy from Sam Warburton that Jones has not been named skipper for a campaign when fit and available.
Jones has played just four matches since his return from a shoulder injury suffered during the clash with New Zealand in October last year, with his 150th Test coming in the 22-21 Six Nations defeat to Italy.
