The 45-year-old added that creating synergy in language and work ethic across girls’ cricket, domestic cricket and the international game remains high on his to-do list for the future.

When Mashimbyi took over as head coach, he immediately implemented culture camps, making his intentions clear early in his tenure.

Ultimately, the Proteas Women made history, becoming the first senior South African side to reach an ICC World Cup final after beating England Women to book their place against hosts India in Navi Mumbai.

Although they lost the final, they left an enduring mark on the global stage — proof that a team with a healthy culture can defy the odds and achieve the previously unthinkable.
