CSA have confirmed that Ottis Gibson will no longer be the head coach of Cricket South Africa.

This announcement came the morning after the Cricket South Africa’s Awards which took place on Saturday evening.

“I would like to thank Ottis Gibson, other members of the team’s current senior management, and our long-serving team manager, Dr Moosajee, for their national service to South African cricket,” CSA chief executive Thabang Moroe said.

“I must stress that the new structure was not a rash decision. It was taken after much deliberation by the Board, taking all the factors into consideration about the current state of our cricket and also the plan that we need to get to within the timelines we have set. This change will herald an exciting new era for SA cricket and will bring us into line with best practice in professional sport.”

With Gibson gone, a complete backroom staff reshuffle is expected as well as the team management.
