CSA added that Conrad will be in charge till the 2027 Men\u2019s ODI World Cup, which will be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. His next assignment will be the ICC World Test Championship Final against Australia, taking place from June 11-15 at the iconic Lord\u2019s Cricket Ground in London.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m truly honoured to be entrusted with the responsibility of leading the national team across 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. I\u2019m genuinely excited about the prospects that lie ahead.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSouth 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\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cDuring 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. We want to obviously be the best in the world in all three forms of the game and that is no doubt my number one target and goal for the Proteas,\u201d said Conrad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
CSA further said Conrad\u2019s appointment forms as a part of CSA\u2019s broader restructuring of the national team strategy, which includes the reintroduction of a National Convenor of Selection. \u201cShukri\u2019s track record with the red-ball team speaks for itself. He has laid a solid foundation and instilled a strong identity within the Test environment.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited to see him bring the profile and structure to the white-ball space. Having been part of the national setup over the past two years, he understands the demands of international cricket.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
