Shukri Conrad appointed South Africa’s all-format head coach
Shukri Conrad has been named South Africa men’s all-format head coach, Cricket South Africa (CSA) stated on Friday. Conrad replaces Rob Walter, who stepped down from his position at the end of April citing personal reasons. Conrad will lead the side until the ODI World Cup in 2027.
"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," Conrad said in a CSA release.
"I'm genuinely excited about the prospects that lie ahead. South African cricket has incredible white-ball talent, from the calibre of our senior players to the emerging group of juniors aspiring to represent the Proteas. There's a strong foundation to build on, and I believe we have what it takes to achieve something special."
"We have a busy schedule ahead, starting with the WTC final next month, the T20 World Cup next year and our very own 50-over World Cup to follow the year after. During this period, planning will be key for us as we look to manage our player base to ensure that the strongest teams can be fielded in every format."
Meanwhile, South Africa are preparing for the World Test Championship final against Australia, scheduled to be played at Lord’s in June. Conrad will kick off his tenure as white-ball head coach with a T20I tri-series assignment against Zimbabwe and New Zealand in July.
