Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Cricket SA CEO Pholetsi Moseki says the portfolio of director of cricket has become too large for one person to handle, necessitating change which sees Enoch Nkwe now solely responsible for national teams.<\/p>\n

The drastic alterations to the administrative structure has Nkwe with a new title \u2014 director: national teams and high performance, in a switch from director of cricket \u2014 while Eddie Khoza takes over as executive: domestic cricket.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe realised that [director of cricket] was a huge portfolio that was multifaceted and particularly with domestic cricket, we felt it required more detailed attention,\u201d Moseki said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is primarily for operational reasons. There\u2019s so much responsibility attached to the national teams, with ICC events every year, the growth and now extra demands with the women\u2019s teams, and we felt that to allow Enoch more room we wanted him to focus on those aspects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moseki said besides just the Proteas, an expanded SA A programme, more matches for emerging squads \u2014 men’s and women’s teams \u2014 will keep Nkwe away from overseeing provincial cricket.<\/p>\n

Khoza, who\u2019s been employed at CSA for more than a decade, and most recently had the portfolio overseeing CSA\u2019s pathways, will look after domestic cricket across the two divisions in the men\u2019s game. The recently established competitions for women\u2019s cricket will also fall under his watch. \u201cThey have to work together,\u201d said Moseki.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot that needs to be addressed at provincial level, from ensuring coaches have the right credentials to logistical issues such as travel and where players stay for away games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nkwe was appointed director of cricket in May 2022, after Graeme Smith, who\u2019d been in the position for just under three years, stepped away to begin focusing on the SA20.<\/p>\n

Nkwe returned to South Africa in 2018 after a brief stint in the Netherlands and coached the Lions, winning two titles with them in his first year, with the inaugural Mzansi Super League as head coach of the Jozi Stars.<\/p>\n

Amid the administrative upheaval that engulfed CSA 2018, Nkwe was appointed team director of the Proteas men\u2019s side, but when Smith took over initially as interim director of cricket in 2019, Nkwe became the Proteas assistant coach under Mark Boucher. He resigned from that position in 2021.<\/p>\n

Moseki said CSA had been guided by similar changes made by the England Cricket Board, where Rob Key holds the position of MD for the England men\u2019s team and Neil Snowball is the MD of competitions and major events, a position in which he oversees domestic competitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hoping that clearer focus will allow both to give more detailed attention to two important parts of cricket. We want to see improved professionalism in domestic cricket and for people in charge at provincial unions to be held more responsible in the jobs in which they are appointed,\u201d said Moseki.<\/p>\n
