Earlier, as per a report by ESPN Cricinfo, Cricket South Africa nominated former coaches, Gary Kirsten and Eric Simons, to recommend the suitable candidate for the position of head coach for the South African side.
Even if Domingo reapplies for the job he would have to undergo a process where he would be tested by a panel consisting of CSA’s lead independent director Norman Arendse, board member Rihan Richards, transformation and cricket pipeline committee member Oupa Nkagisang and the two former coaches.
