Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Cricket SA\u2019s search for a permanent head coach for the Proteas women\u2019s team continues after the organisation announced it had parted ways with Hilton Moreeng on Friday.<\/p>\n

Moreeng\u2019s second short-term contract came to an end in April and his position will be taken over by Dillon du Preez on an interim basis, CSA announced. Du Preez, who had a lengthy playing career with Free State, has been the team\u2019s bowling coach recently.<\/p>\n

Moreeng held the position of head coach for 11 years, overseeing a crucial period of growth for the women\u2019s game in South Africa.<\/p>\n

In that time, the sport turned professional, with CSA handing out its first contracts for female players in 2014. During Moreeng\u2019s tenure, the Proteas reached the semifinals of two ODI World Cups, along with two appearances in the semifinals of the T20 World Cup and last year\u2019s runners-up finish in the T20 World Cup, which South Africa hosted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to express my sincere appreciation to all the players and team management who have been instrumental in this journey. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside each of you,\u201d Moreeng said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In other changes to the Proteas women coaching set-up, physiotherapist Molebatsi Theletsane will depart from his position, with Neline Hoffman Kellerman joining the squad.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Dafabet Warriors assistant coach Baakier Abrahams has been officially appointed as the batting coach, while DP World Lions\u2019 Bongani Ndaba assumes the role of fielding coach.<\/p>\n

Both Abrahams and Ndaba had a brief stint consulting with the team during the recent Sri Lanka tour.<\/p>\n
