JOHANNESBURG (AP) Malibongwe Maketa was named interim head coach of the South Africa Cricket team on Wednesday and will take charge of the Proteas for a three-test tour of Australia starting next month.
Maketa will replace Mark Boucher, who will step down as head coach after the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup in Australia.
The 42-year-old Maketa is currently the South Africa A team Coach and head of the national academy, and has been part of the senior team’s coaching group before. He was an Assistant Coach with the Proteas from 2017-19.
His appointment is only for the tests in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in December and January, with Cricket South Africa expected to make a permanent appointment early next year.
