PROFILE: Shukri Conrad — Test cricket coach
The job includes plotting, planning and running things on and off the field
02 March 2023 - 05:00
Shukri Conrad is not only the new coach of South African cricket’s Test team, he’s also a manager on many fronts. He has a staff of 12, which is one greater than the number of players he’ll have on the field in the first Test against the West Indies at Centurion this week.
Does this signify a bloated bureaucracy that hardly justifies its existence (some easy-to-hand parallels here, surely?), or are all 12 there to make Conrad’s life easier?..
