Cricket South Africa (CSA) has on Friday announced Shukri Conrad as coach for all the formats.

Conrad has guided the Proteas’ Test side for over two years and has now been entrusted with the responsibility of the white-ball teams following Rob Walter’s resignation last month due to personal reasons.

“Cricket South Africa (CSA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Shukri Conrad as the Proteas Men’s all-format head coach,” CSA confirmed on Friday.

“Conrad, who has led the Test side since January 2023, will now take charge of the white-ball formats starting with the T20 International tri-series against Zimbabwe and New Zealand in July.

“The 58-year-old will oversee the national team across all formats through to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027, which will be hosted on home soil,” CSA added.

Conrad, meanwhile, is ready for the challenge.

“I’m honoured to be entrusted with the responsibility of leading the national team in all three formats. 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 commented.
