Cricket South Africa to look for new head coach after England tour

Cricket South Africa have said they are going to begin a recruitment process soon to appoint a head coach for the national team after the England tour and through to the 2019 World Cup.

If Russell Domingo, the present Proteas coach decides to stay on, he has to reapply after the England tour which is scheduled for May-August 2017. 
 
"The Board of Directors also resolved to commence the recruitment process for the appointment of the Proteas Head Coach to take charge after the tour to the UK until after the 2019 edition of the ICC World Cup," the CSA was quoted by ESPNCricnfo.

Domingo who took over the reins in May 2013 already has had his contract extended twice. It was originally set till the 2015 World Cup and South Africa's performance there drove the CSA to extend it till April 2016. 
 
 Then, last October, it was decided to extend Domingo's contract till the end of the England tour.
