Cricket South Africa (CSA) has announced a new structure that will not only see the appointment of a team manager who will take overall charge of all aspects of the team but also ensure an effective manner of cricket governance and greater accountability to South Africans.
The team manager will appoint his coaching staff as well as the captain(s) of the Proteas; the coaches, the medical staff and the administrative staff will all report directly to him.
In terms of the new structure the team manager, similar to football-style structures, will report to the (Acting) Director of Cricket who will in turn report to the Chief Executive.
Members of team management, including the various assistant cricket coaches, will not be retained as part of the forthcoming plan.
In the meantime, CSA will advertise the positions of Director of Cricket, Team Manager and convenor of selectors.
The CEO of CSA Thabang Moroe says this change will herald an exciting new era for the SA cricket and will bring them into line with best practice in professional sport.
CSA will host a press conference on Tuesday.
