Head coach Shukri Conrad had a clear plan which culminated in South Africa winning last year's World Test Championship final, but he has shaken things up as he plots a first major white-ball trophy at the T20 World Cup.

"One thing I did from a long way out was to bring some stability to the Test squad," the South African head coach told AFP.
