Proteas Head Coach Conrad Hits Back At Critics Of South Africa’s WTC25 Final Spot
ICC World Test Championship Final: South Africa has become the first team to secure their spot in the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2025 after their victory in the first Test against Pakistan. Their entry into the final has been greeted with criticism from some quarters. Questions have been raised about their path to the final. It was pointed out that South Africa played the fewest matches of any team in the competition (12) and had not faced heavyweights like Australia and England during the current cycle.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan, speaking on Fox Cricket, claimed that South Africa reached the final "on the back of beating pretty much nobody".
However, South Africa's Test coach Shukri Conrad has responded to that criticism, hitting out at the team's critics by claiming they did not decide the schedule. The South African coach firmly defended his team, rejecting any dilution of their achievement.
