The Board has nominated the following persons to serve on the selection panel to screen and recommend a suitable candidate to the Board for appointment – Norman Arendse SC, Rihan Richards, Oupa Nkagisang, Gary Kirsten and Eric Simons.
“There has been uninformed negativity in the media about the Board’s decision to start a process to recruit a coach for the Men’s Senior National Team,” commented Board chairman Chris Nenzani.

The Board has also confirmed the following decisions:
– An extension to the term of office of all the selectors serving on the National Selection Panel (NSP) until the end of the ICC World Cup in 2019.
