South African Laurence Mahatlane was Wednesday, April 17, appointed new head coach of Rwanda's men's senior team after penning a three-year contract, renewable.
He replaces Englishman Lee Booth, who left the post in December 2023 when his six-month contract expired. Booth took over front Kenyan Martin Suji.
He had been in charge of the Cricket Cranes since 2020 when he replaced Kenyan Steve Tikolo, and the South African is credited for overseeing the growth of the Uganda team especially in T20 format. Mahatlane brings experience, not just to the national team, but to broader Rwandan cricket, which can only be a good thing as the RCA embarks on an unenviable task of taking the sport to another level.
RCA president Stephen Musaale said,"We are thrilled to welcome Laurence Mahatlane to the Rwanda Cricket Association family." The new coach has the opportunity to do whatever he deems right and good for the team, which includes making it clear to get current team that no player is indispensable.
