#ProteasWomen head coach Hilton Moreeng knows that the world expects better from South Africa after their semi-final finish at the 2017 Women’s World Cup and he is confident the team is on track with preparations ahead of the next showpiece event in 2021.
The challenge he has is to build a winning team for the upcoming T20 World Cup next year and despite the recent T20i series loss to India, he takes comfort from the team’s historic win in the final match of the T20i series in Surat which India won 3-1.
So, how do you plot the way forward, planning for two World Cups in the space of two years and what is the mood in the camp as the team gears up to face India in a three-match ODI series, starting in Baroda on Wednesday, 9 October?
Moreen spoke to gsport Editor, Kass Naidoo, about his plans going forward.
