Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Monday appointed two different coaches for their red-ball and white-ball teams. The board have named Shukri Conrad<\/strong> as the head coach of their Test team, while Rob Walter<\/strong> will be in charge of the ODI and T20I teams.<\/p>\n The permanent coaching role was vacant in South Africa after Mark Boucher<\/strong> resigned from his job following Proteas\u2019 shocking exit at the T20 World Cup last year.<\/p>\n Both Conrad and Walker have worked extensively in South Africa\u2019s domestic circuit.<\/p>\n Conrad has previously coached South Africa Under-19s and was the senior team\u2019s Strength and Conditioning coach between 2009 and 2013. On the other hand, Walker also has an IPL experience with Chennai Super Kings, Pune Warriors India and Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals).<\/p>\n CSA has even reduced their team\u2019s number of fixtures in order to accommodate its new T20 league, SA20, which started earlier this month and to focus on Test cricket.<\/p>\n \u201cWe haven\u2019t relegated Test cricket to the margins,\u201d<\/em> said CSA chief executive Pholetsi Moseki<\/strong> in his statement. \u201cWe want to invest to get Test cricket back to the standard we expect.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
