JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Rob Walter has resigned as head coach of the South Africa men’s white-ball cricket team.
Cricket South Africa announced Walter’s resignation on Tuesday and said it was due to personal reasons.
Walter, who was halfway through a four-year contract, “played an instrumental role in South Africa’s recent successes on the global stage,” Cricket South Africa said.
Walter led the Proteas to a runner-up finish in the T20 World Cup last summer and to semifinal appearances in the 50-over World Cup and recent Champions Trophy.
In his tenure, Walter oversaw the national team in 36 one-day internationals and 31 Twenty20 internationals, with series wins against the Netherlands, Australia, Ireland and Pakistan.
