Klusener will be hoping to bring all his experience and help out the side in a crunch series. South Africa also appointed an assistant bowling coach, whereas, Justin Ontong will retain his position as the assistant fielding coach.

    Specific skills focus the main aspect targeted by CSA

"In terms of the new team structure, the Team Director appoints his three assistant coaches who have specific skills focus on the three key disciplines of batting, bowling and fielding," CSA Acting Director, Corrie van Zyl, said in a statement.

    Klusener will assist the side just for the T20Is and not the subsequent three-match Test series. "Former Proteas all-rounder Lance Klusener will fill the role of assistant coach (batting) for the T20 Series only as he is currently not available for all formats," added CSA.
