Shukri Conrad and Rob Walter are set to be unveiled as the Proteas’ new head coaches.

CSA will have split roles for the Test and limited-overs teams, with Conrad likely to coach the former and Walter the latter.

The other candidates for the positions were Proteas interim coach Malibongwe Maketa, former Proteas assistant coach Adrian Birrell and former West Indies director of cricket Richard Pybus.

The favourite to coach the limited-overs teams, Lance Klusener, withdrew his application on Monday.

Conrad was head coach of the Highveld Lions and Cape Cobras during SA’s franchise era, winning four trophies with the two teams.

The 56-year-old is currently coaching the SA U19 side.

Walter was the Proteas’ strength and conditioning coach from 2009 to 2013, before being appointed head coach of the Titans.

He won three trophies in three seasons while in Pretoria before moving to New Zealand, where he has coached the Otago Volts and Central Stags.

Walter also has IPL experience with the Pune Warriors and Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals).

Maketa is expected to return to his position as coach of the SA A team.
