Cricket SA seeks a coach, Russell Domingo to reapply by Friday

Cricket SA is advertising a head coach position even as the national team are reeling from one poor result to the next in England.

CSA's website says the board is "considering the position of the Proteas head coach until at least the end of the 2019 . World Cup".

That might come as news to the incumbent, Russell Domingo, who was asked on Sunday whether he had clarity over his situation.

"No," Domingo replied.

Had he applied for the job?

"No, not yet, no."

If Domingo wants to stay in the job - which Faf du Plessis, AB de Villiers and Dean Elgar have said they want him to do - he had better get a move on: applications close tomorrow.

CSA have appointed a committee consisting of two of Domingo's predecessors, Gary Kirsten and Eric Simons, and administrators Norman Arendse, Rihan Richards and Oupa Nkagisang, to find and recommend candidates to the board.

And all this while South Africa are trying to focus on the T20 series that starts in Southampton on Wednesday and next month's Test series.
