Cricket Means So Much To Us And People Of The Country: SA Coach Conrad On WTC Triumph
ICC World Test Championship: A day after South Africa won the 2025 ICC World Test Championship, head coach Shukri Conrad said the sport is deeply valued by all members of the winning team, as well as by the people of the rainbow nation.
At Lord’s on Saturday, South Africa beat the defending champions Australia by five wickets to win the WTC mace and end a 27-year knockout losing streak. Opener Aiden Markram made a magnificent 136 and steered South Africa to victory in the Ultimate Test by lunch on day four by chasing 282 in 83.4 overs.
Notably, two months ago, Conrad lost his father Sedick, who himself was a first-class cricketer. “I guess I do play that father figure role, because most of these guys are close in age to my kids. They keep me young, because they give me headaches. People like Dane Paterson… they are the reason I don’t have any hair anymore.”
