South Africa name new all-format head coach

Cricket South Africa (CSA) have announced the appointment of Shukri Conrad as the head coach of the Proteas Men’s teams across formats, marking a new chapter for South African cricket.

Conrad is set to replace former Proteas white-ball coach Rob Walter, following the latter’s resignation from the white-ball head coach role last month.

Conrad expressed his pride and excitement at taking on the expanded role.

“I’m truly honoured to be entrusted with the responsibility of leading the national team across all three formats,” the 58-year-old said. “Coaching the Test side has been the greatest privilege of my cricket journey, and to now oversee the white-ball teams as well is something unbelievably special.”

“South African cricket has incredible white-ball talent, from the calibre of our senior players to the emerging group of juniors eager to make their mark. There’s a strong foundation to build on, and I believe we have what it takes to achieve something special.”
