Failure to win in India is "not going to be the end of the world" for South Africa, feels the team's Pep Guardiola-inspired interim team director, Enoch Nkwe.

In a role that is all-encompassing, Nkwe, 36, is the national cricket team's head coach, selector and team manager, with other members of the support staff reporting directly to him.

His first assignment is daunting: a full-fledged tour of India.

"I understand that it's going to be a big challenge, but I strongly believe that we can really make an immediate impact," Nkwe said at his first official press conference.

"And if it doesn't happen, it's not going to be the end of the world. There's always a big picture to everything."
