T20 World Cup tough nut to crack, but Proteas ready, says Conrad
Cape Argus
|February 05, 2026
PROTEAS coach Shukri Conrad has called on his team “to make sure we win all the clutch moments” at the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
PROTEAS coach Shukri Conrad is excited about his team's prospects at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Conrad has garnered great success with the Proteas Test side, building up a side that was on its knees when he took over to the summit of winning the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord's last year.
The 58-year-old has since been handed the leadership reins across all formats, succeeding former white-ball coach Rob Walter who led the Proteas to a first-ever T20 World Cup final two years ago in Barbados.
The transition to the short format hasn't been as smooth with the T20 side winning just eight matches, while losing 13 under Conrad since his appointment.
But two of those victories crucially came in the most recent series against the West Indies, which earned Conrad his first T20I series victory.
