Walter has attributed his resignation to personal reasons, which Cricket SA (CSA) has accepted.

Walter, who has held the position since March 2023, has played an instrumental role in South Africa’s recent successes on the global stage. Under his leadership, the Proteas made history by reaching their first-ever International Criminal Court (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup final in 2024, where they lost to India in Barbados.

His tenure also saw the 50-over side reach the semi-finals of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. In his time at the helm, Walter oversaw the national side in 36 One-Day Internationals and 31 T20 Internationals, with limited success, however, in bilateral series.

His final assignment was this year’s ICC Champions Trophy tournament in Pakistan, where he led the Proteas to another semi-final appearance, this time against New Zealand in Lahore in March.
