Enoch Nkwe, a coach with a single season's experience at South African franchise level, was named Friday as the Proteas' interim team director for a tour of India next month.
"It is a tremendous honour and privilege to lead the Proteas as the interim team director," the 36-year-old former all-rounder told the Cricket South Africa (CSA) website.
"It is a special moment for me and my family and I will do my best to make a difference in this interim period."
