Moreeng's tenure is now in its 12th year and was set to end after last year's T20 World Cup, where South Africa reached the final for the first time in their history - men's or women's. In August last year, ESPNcricinfo reported that senior members of the South African women's team wrote a letter to Cricket South Africa (CSA) leadership to lobby for a change in coach as they sought fresh ideas. At the time, CSA did not have enough time to appoint someone else before the team's tour to Pakistan, and Moreeng's contract was extended until the end of the year. CSA also resolved to appoint a head of women's cricket, a position which has also not been filled.
