**Proteas Coach Conrad Expresses Concerns Over Upcoming Selection Convener Appointment**

Johannesburg – Newly appointed all-format Proteas coach Shukri Conrad has voiced his reservations regarding Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) impending appointment of a new selection convener. The position has been vacant since Victor Mpitsang resigned prior to the appointments of Conrad and Rob Walter as Test and white-ball coaches, respectively, in January 2023.

Following Walter’s unexpected resignation, Conrad stepped into the all-format head coach role. He stressed the importance of consistency and clear communication regarding player selection.

“The last thing you want is for someone to come in with a completely different agenda,” Conrad told the Sunday Times. He emphasized the need for clarity and accountability in the selection process. “It’s important for players to know exactly where they stand, who’s accountable, who’s the sole voice who takes responsibility, because I don’t like collective responsibility. Cricket has never been a democracy. Whoever the fall guy is he takes the rap.”

Conrad’s comments highlight a potential area of concern within the Proteas setup, emphasizing the need for a seamless transition and a unified vision between the coach and the selection convener.
