Johannesburg – Gary Kirsten is set to be appointed the new Proteas coach and Graeme Smith will in all likelihood resign on Sunday as Test captain of the national cricket team.
Russell Domingo will be Kirsten’s assistant and Allan Donald will take over as the new bowling coach.
These shock announcements are set to be announced when the Executive Council of Cricket South Africa (CSA) start with a “house-cleaning exercise” on Monday.
Although the CSA Board must still approve the appointments, Sport24 has learned from reliable sources that Kirsten will succeed Corrie van Zyl after South Africa’s disastrous World Cup campaign.
Kirsten, a former Proteas opening batsman, led India to glory in the World Cup a couple of months ago.
Smith will apparently resign on Sunday as Test captain. He has in recent times also resigned as one-day and Twenty20 captain.
It is being speculated that AB de Villiers will be the new captain.
