South Africa Coach Arthur Quits
Mickey Arthur has quits as a South Africa coach following a breakdown in his relationship with captain Graeme Smith, according to reports in the media. The reports say former South African fast bowler Corrie van Zyl has been appointed caretaker coach and will be in charge of the team for the two-Test and three-ODI tour of India next month.
During Arthur’s tenure, which began when he succeeded Ray Jennings in 2005, South Africa won their first series in England in over 40 years and achieved their maiden series victory in Australia in 2008-09. Arthur’s reported resignation came four days before South Africa leave for India. Van Zyl, his temporary replacement, was South Africa’s assistant coach in the past and was appointed coach of Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) high-performance centre in Pretoria in 2009.
