Pete de Wet, chief executive officer of the Dolphins, is going to head Central Districts, and the South African national team logistics manager Riaan Muller took the same job with the New Zealand team.It was a very tough decision because I have had immense joy, Walter told ESPNcricinfo. I felt for my growth as a coach it would be good for me to experience coaching in a different environment. Like any coach, I aspire to coaching a national team and through conversations with various people I could see that in the short-term coaching the Proteas was not going to happen for me. By coaching in New Zealand maybe I can put myself in a better position to do that in the long-term. I cant say I am leaving for lack of opportunity because I got the Titans job early in my career.Jacques Faul, the Titans chief executive officer, paid glowing tribute to Walters work with the South African franchise. Rob pioneered a new spirit in the Titans cricketing family, he said. He has transformed the franchise in many ways.

We wish him and his family well when they embark on a new chapter of his cricketing odyssey in Otago, New Zealand.Mike Coggan, Otago Crickets chief executive, welcomed Walters appointment.
