After his team advanced to the final, South African national test cricket team coach Shukri Conrad dismissed criticism regarding the World Test Championship’s erratic scheduling.

In a thrilling two-wicket victory over Pakistan in Centurion on Sunday, South Africa secured their sixth straight Test victory. Even if the South Africans lose their final game, the second Test against Pakistan, which begins in Cape Town on Friday, they will still advance to the final in June because to the championship’s average points system.

Conrad who is a Muslim by religion is married to wife Warda and children Ameera, Azraa and Saeed.

Conrad’s work at Cricket SA’s National Academy and with the SA U19s proves that he is very much in touch with what the modern young player needs.

Shukri’s father was a hell of a cricketer, an opening bat who starred in the SACOS league and Dickie is also remembered for breaking the apartheid-era law forbidding people of colour to enter cricket establishments when he snuck into Newlands to watch a match. While it saw him banned from cricket at the time, it didn’t diminish his love for the game.

Dickie Conrad, who was arguably the most technically correct player of colour batter to ever take guard, represented the South African Board President’s XI with Barry Richards, Graeme Pollock and Vince van der Bijl against the Derrick Robbins XI at Newlands in 1975.

Conrad is also a qualified educator but is a long way from his classroom in Mitchells Plain on the Cape Flats now.

In December 1985, at the age of 18, Shukri Conrad made his Western Province debut during the 1985–86 Howa Bowl season. Because South African cricket was still racially segregated at the time, games played in the non-white Howa Bowl were not considered first-class; instead, they were only given that classification after the fact.

Conrad never made it to Western Province’s senior team at that level, even though the Howa Bowl and the Currie Cup, which had traditionally been exclusively for white players, were combined for the 1991–92 season. He did, however, play five games for Western Province B, who were given first-class status, during the 1994–95 UCB Bowl season.

During the 1999–2000 season, Conrad made his coaching debut as the coach of Gauteng B, a non-first-class squad. He held that role until May 2002, when he was appointed senior team coach for Gauteng. Conrad became Uganda’s new national coach in October 2010 after the Uganda Cricket Association used money from its participation in the ICC’s High-Performance Program.

He has prior experience in Uganda, having spent a week there in June 2005 (during the South African off-season) to assist the national team in getting ready for the 2005 ICC Trophy. He replaced Barney Mohamed, another former Western Province player. Conrad’s tenure as Uganda’s head coach was brief, though, as his contract was mutually ended in January 2011.

Conrad was named South Africa’s test cricket team head coach in January 2023.

Shukri Conrad is not only the coach of the South African cricket’s Test team but he’s also a manager on many fronts and he has a staff of 12 but his salary as the head coach isn’t known. Rob Walter is South Africa’s ODI and T20 cricket team coach meanwhile.
