Serving South Africa for a long time After 11 years, Hilton Moreeng’s term as women’s coach is over. In addition to leading South Africa through its professionalisation process and two ODI and two T20 World Cup semi-final appearances, Moreeng was first appointed to the position in 2013 and became the first national senior side to reach a World Cup final, which took place at home in 2023.
For South Africa’s tour of India, Moreeng’s assistant coach Dillon du Preez, a former first-class cricket player, will step in temporarily while a new coach is appointed.
“It has been an honour and a privilege to lead such a talented group of athletes over the years,” Moreeng said in a statement. “I want to express my sincere appreciation to all the players and team management who have been instrumental in this journey. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside each of you.
“I would also like to thank the South African fans and the media for their unwavering support throughout this journey. Your encouragement has been a constant source of motivation.”
CSA have also appointed a new batting coach in Baakier Adams, previously with the Warriors provincial team, and Bongani Ndaba as fielding coach.
