Jennings could miss out on Titans job

Ray Jennings, the former South Africa coach, is unlikely to be the new coach of Titans as Richard Pybus, the former Pakistan and Border coach, seems favourite to be selected for the position. According to the News24 website, Pybus will take over from Dave Nosworthy. The other candidate was Keith Medleycott, while Graham Ford had withdrawn his application.

The announcement, which is to be made today, could end all hopes that Jennings had of coaching a domestic side. Jennings was replaced as national coach in May by Mickey Arthur, after he had masterminded a successful and unbeaten tour of the West Indies. However, Jennings' unconventional coaching style has been the topic of debate with several players raising concerns. He also had regular spats with Graeme Smith during his eight-month tenure.

West Indies were rumoured to be interested in hiring his services for their academy, and there has also been interest from various county sides.
