SA coach Domingo unsure of staying on past England tour

JOHANNESBURG: Russell Domingo is still unsure of whether he will reapply for his job as South Africa’s head coach, with the 42-year-old awaiting clarity on the process as he maintains the stance he took on the topic prior to the start of the New Zealand tour.

Domingo’s contract, which has been extended three times from when he was originally appointed mid-2013, runs until the end of the England series in August. Cricket South Africa (CSA) will advertise for the post and open applications in May, with the aim to appoint a coach before the Bangladesh series in September.

“I don’t know what the process is. I’m still waiting to find out what I need to do, or if I need to do anything. Once we’ve got clarity on that I’ll make some decisions,” Domingo said, after South Africa’s Test series win over New Zealand.

“At the moment I’m going fishing for a couple of weeks. So it’s the last of my worries at the moment.

“It’s out of my control — what happens, happens. When I get back home I’ll select a squad for England, prepare the side well for when we get to England, play in England, and take it from there and see what happens.”
