Lions batting coach Michael Smith is exiting the role to move to Tasmania in Australia.
Smith has been hired as assistant coach and batting coach at Tasmania.
He was with the Lions for a one season after joining from KwaZulu-Natal Inland.
“I am leaving the Lions at the end of this month and heading to Hobart next weekend to join up with the Tasmania Tigers as assistant/batting coach, starting next month,” Smith told Club Cricket SA.
Smith has also worked with the Karachi Kings and Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League.
The Lions recently hired Proteas head coach Russell Domingo. He has succeeded former Lions head coach Wandile Gwavu, who has joined the Proteas’ coaching staff.
The Lions compete in division one of South African domestic cricket.
They have recruited several players ahead of the 2023-24 season, including former Western Province trio Zubayr Hamza, Tshepo Moreki and Junaid Dawood.
