Lance Klusener, one of the greatest all-rounders of the late 90s and an immensely talented player who was a part of the 1999 South Africa side has been appointed as the head coach of the Durban-based team. The team's name, logo, and jersey colours are all yet to be decided but Klusener will take the role of the head coach. ?

Klusener has previously been the head coach of the Afghanistan National Team, Dolphins (A domestic team in South Africa), Bangla Tigers (A team in the T10 league), Delhi Daredevils, Mumbai Indians (Batting-Coach), and as assistant coach of the Delhi-Ranji Team.  

Klusener post retirement has contributed immensely to the sport. He completed a certified coaching training program provided by the CSA and based on that he has been getting so many roles across the globe. He was also supposed to be the permanent bowling coach of the Bangladesh side but as things didn?t fall in place, he denied the offer.
