Lance Klusener has been named head coach of the Durban franchise in the CSA's new T20 competition, which will begin in January-February 2023.
"This is a new challenge for me. It makes me very proud. I am looking forward to meet the team," Klusener said in a statement issued by the RPSG group, the owners of the Durban franchise who also own the Lucknow Super Giants team in the IPL.
The RPSG group has made its first appointment. The league's six teams have all been purchased by current IPL club owners.
The league will be organized by CSA in collaboration with SuperSport, the television broadcasters.
Klusener has had a successful coaching career since his playing days ended, and he was in fact the coach of the Durban-based Dolphins in the mid-2010s before traveling around the world.
He rejoined the Zimbabwe men's team as a batting coach earlier this year, a role he had performed from 2016 to 2018. Following that, he joined the Afghanistan men's team as their head coach before parting away with them in late 2021.
Klusener has also worked with Khulna Tigers in the BPL and the Abu Dhabi T10 League with Bangla Tigers.
