Kirsten joins Proteas in Sri Lanka
Former Proteas coach Gary Kirsten has joined the national team ahead of their second Test against Sri Lanka starting in Colombo on Thursday.
Kirsten had previously been used as a strategic and batting consultant on an ad hoc basis, since relinquishing his head coach position with the national team last year.
The arrangement was confirmed prior to the start of the two-Test series, and will continue throughout the season.
Kirsten will be with the team until the second day of the Test match.
South Africa lead the two-match series 1-0.
A series victory would mean the Proteas will reclaim their number one Test ranking from Australia.
