“We are excited that Laurence is finally in the country to take up the position. A lot ahead for the national team so early preparations are key. His immediate assignment will be to prepare the team for the tour to Qatar next month,” Ondeko added.
Ondeko also revealed that Mahatlane has a lot of work to do as the association also seeks to build a bigger player base.

NCS’ Donald Rukare urged the new tacticians to be a hard-working coach and strive to emulate South Africa. He also re echoed the subject of ODI status.

Mahatlane, 44 had stints with; the SA U-19 side at the 2020 World Cup in South Africa, he was assistant coach for the Highveld Lions from 2000 – 2001 before taking up the role of Cricket South Africa U19 Head Coach in 2014. He is also a rugby and cricket TV commentator at the South Africa Broadcasting Corporation (SABC).
