This appreciation was expressed after Donald confirmed his decision to step down from his role within the Proteas team management.
“Allan was and always will be a stalwart in South Africa having served his country with distinction both on and off the field,” commented Lorgat.
“It’s never easy to lose a legend from your ranks but we respect Allan’s decision in the knowledge that we will seek his involvement in our cricket programmes in the future,” added Lorgat.
Donald was appointed in June 2011 as part of Gary Kirsten’s management team and continued in the role under Russell Domingo from August 2013.
The 48 year-old says it is “the right time to move on” and thanked the players, coaches and Cricket South Africa for their support over the years.
“I have had some time to reflect after the World Cup and have come to the conclusion that the time is right to move on,” he said. “It was always a big dream of mine to work in the South African cricket environment after my playing days and I was incredibly honoured to be given the opportunity.
