Former South African player Gary Kirsten is all set to become the new coach of the South African team with former teammate Allan Donald to assist him. According to the reports, Cricket South Africa (CSA) would make a formal announcement on Monday ending two-month speculation as the officials interviewed several candidates from across the globe for the position.
Kirsten, who had a fantastic three seasons with Indian team guiding them to World Cup triumph and to the No 1 ranking in Test cricket was tipped to take over from Corrie van Zyl, who has returned to his position as head of the CSA High Performance Centre.
CSA has declined to comment on the issue as they intend to make a formal announcement after the coach has signed the contract on dotted lines. Donald has assisted England, and was part of New Zealand's support staff during World Cup. Former Proteas captain Kepler Wessels welcomed the news that Kirsten and Donald would coach the Proteas.
