Shukri Conrad will coach the Proteas in all formats, CSA announced on Friday.

Conrad, who has led the Test side since January 2023, will now take charge of the white-ball teams following Rob Walter’s resignation last month, starting with a T20I Tri-Series against Zimbabwe and New Zealand in July.

The 58-year-old will oversee the national team across all formats through to the 2027 ODI World Cup, which South Africa will co-host.

“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,” said Conrad.

“I’m genuinely excited about the prospects that lie ahead. South 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’s 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 World Test Championship final next month, the T20 World Cup next year and our very own 50-over World Cup to follow the year after.

“During 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.”
