Rob Walter and Shukri Conrad announced as Proteas' new coaches

Walter was the Proteas’ strength and conditioning coach from 2009 to 2013, before being appointed head coach of the Titans. He won three trophies in three seasons while in Pretoria before moving to New Zealand, where he has coached the Otago Volts and Central Stags.

Both have been signed to four-year contracts.

“They are both very clear on how they wish to move South African cricket forward,” said Enoch Nkwe, CSA's director of cricket.

Neither Conrad nor Walter were at the announcement on Monday morning, with CSA stating they would be starting in their new roles from February 1.

Conrad was head coach of the Highveld Lions and Cape Cobras during SA’s franchise era, winning four trophies with the two teams.

The 56-year-old is currently coaching the SA U-19 side.
