Allan Donald has stepped down as South Africa's bowling coach in the first of what is expected to be a series of changes post the 2015 World Cup. Donald held the role for four years since 2011 and served under Gary Kirsten and Russell Domingo while also working at IPL teams Pune Warriors and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Donald's decision coincided with the expiration of his contract, which along with the rest of the South African support staff and selection panel, ran its course at the conclusion of the World Cup. Taking the team to the semi-finals of the tournament, for Donald, marked the end point of his tenure.
"I always wanted to give myself the chance of working up until the World Cup," Donald told ESPNcricinfo. "I really felt now was a good time to get and get on with it and that's that. It's been four awesome years and I will miss the guys big time."
