Gary Kisten backs http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Russell-c87177 Domingo's appointment as South Africa’s T20 coach – Cricket News Update
Russell Domingo, appointed as South Africa’s assistant coach in June last year alongside http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Allan-Anthony-Donald-c43680 (bowling coach), has been promoted to become the head coach of the national T20 side.
Kirsten will continue to be involved in the T20 squad selection and strategy planning but a relief from micromanagement is likely to benefit him as Domingo takes over the T20 format.
Welcoming the decision, Kirsten said, “I believe this decision is a positive move to creating a more sustainable and balanced coaching approach. It's common best-practice around the world, and we feel it will give us the platform to spread our coaching resources efficiently.”
With upcoming visits from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 on the calender, Domingo has just two weeks on his watch before South Africa hosts the first of the 3 T20s against the Kiwis, starting December 21, 2012.
Last year, the trio was appointed in a coaching capacity, aiming to clinch the T20 Champion’s title and the top spot on the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, both away from home.
However, now with Domingo as the head coach, South African cricket may witness drastic changes in their T20 side.
“He fully understands the team culture and will be able to build that culture with the new crop of T20 players we will be blooding this season,” Kirsten added.
Under the coaching of Domingo, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 qualified for the Champions League T20 in 2010. Excited to head the national T20 team, Domingo feels, “Coaching at the highest level has always been a goal of mine and I'm looking forward to building on the foundation we have set for this format.”
Failing to claim the T20 title in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 is planning for the 2014 tournament before hand this time, with a number of new talents expected to make it in to the new T20 squad.
