Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced on Friday that Shukri Conrad has been named the all-format coach of South Africa's men's teams. Rob Walter resigned from his position as white-ball coach at the end of April, and Conrad took over as Test coach.
Conrad will remain in command until the conclusion of the 2027 World Cup, which will take place in South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. South Africa has advanced to the WTC final under Conrad, where they will face Australia at Lord's next month.
"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," Conrad was quoted as saying in a release.
"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 WTC 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."
Conrad will oversee the Men's T20 World Cup, which will take place the following year, in addition to the ODI World Cup in 2027.
