Former Proteas fast bowler Mornantau Hayward has been appointed director of cricket at Northwood School in Durban.
Hayward played 16 Tests and 21 ODIs between 1998 and 2004 – and represented South Africa in the Road Safety World Series earlier this year.
“We are excited to announce that Mornantau, South African cricket legend and ex-Proteas fast bowler, has been appointed as our director of cricket from 1 October 2021,” read a statement from Northwood School.
“Hayward brings with him a wealth of international experience and skill. We look forward to welcoming him to our dynamic Northwood family.”
The 44-year-old Hayward previously worked with Pinetown Cricket Club in the KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union premier league.
He was also the fast bowling coach for the Sylhet Thunder in the Bangladesh Premier League.
“I love to see young cricketers get through the system and do well,” he was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo last year.
“I have been in coaching for a long time, after my playing career. I had a stint with North West Cricket as an amateur coach for two years. I thought that it would be better to do freelance stuff, and not be connected to one provincial set-up.
“I moved back to the Eastern Cape for a long time. I worked with a few young boys, some of who played the Under-19 World Cup. I am based in Durban. I do a lot of work with bowlers all over South Africa.”
