Legendary South African adventurer and motivational speaker Mike Horn, who has a phenomenal track record in inspiring sports teams to victory, would be used once again by close friend and consultant of the national team, Gary Kirsten, as part of the squad's Cricket World Cup preparations.
In 2012, Horn took South Africa on a team-building expedition in the Alps prior to their Test series in England and the squad, with Kirsten as head coach, went on to dominate England in their backyard to snatch the number one Test ranking, Sport24 reported.
Russell Domingo now coaches South Africa, but Kirsten still helps out from time to time as a batting consultant. Horn revealed that Kirsten has asked him to help the squad during their World Cup campaign early next year.
The 2015 Cricket World Cup, to be staged in Australia and New Zealand, will take place from February 14 to March 29, the report added.
