A New Era for South African Cricket: Embracing Diversity
South Africa's Test cricket is transforming coach Shukri Conrad. Moving away from traditional norms, Conrad emphasizes embracing the nation's diversity. He believes a Protea player doesn't fit a single mold, recognizing that passion for the game manifests differently across cultures and backgrounds. Conrad's history growing up during apartheid informs his vision. His father's decision to play for a white club highlighted the complexities of race and sport in South Africa. Now Conrad aims to build a team representative of all South Africans, fostering a sense of shared pride. This new approach has already yielded success, with the team reaching the World Test Championship final. Conrad encourages everyone to dream big and work hard.
