Zambia re-engages South African cricket coach

Cricket authorities in Zambia have re-engaged a South African coach on a one-month contract to drill the country's Under-19 national team, the Post of Zambia reported on Thursday.

The re-engagement of Peter Kirsten follows his splendid performance with the Zambia senior cricket team earlier this year whom he guided to qualify to the World league, according to the Post.

Zambia Cricket Union (ZCU) general manager Nitin Naik said Kirsten has been re-engaged to drill the Under-19 team ahead of the World Cup qualifiers set for August 28 to September 5 in Namibia.

He expressed confidence that the South African coach will qualify the team to the World Cup.
