Wanted: head coach for SA cricket team
Cricket SA is advertising for a head coach as the national team reel from one poor result to the next in England. In a notice that runs to 730 words‚ Cricket SA’s website says the board is “considering the position of the Proteas head coach until at least the end of the 2019 World Cup”. That might come as news to the incumbent‚ Russell Domingo‚ who was asked on Sunday whether he had clarity over his situation. “No‚” Domingo replied. Had he applied for the job? “No‚ not yet‚ no.” Could he say if he was interested in taking the team to the 2019 World Cup? “Can’t say.” If Domingo wants to stay in the job — which Faf du Plessis‚ AB de Villiers and Dean Elgar have said they want him to do — he had better get a move on: applications close on Friday.
