Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced that South Africa Men’s Head Coach Mark Boucher will step down from his position after conclusion of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.
Mark Boucher has decided to resign from his position and focus on his future career with other opportunities.
Mark Boucher held the position in 2019 December, South Africa wins 13 Test Matches under his coaching including 2-1 memorable win against India in January 2022. South Africa won 12 ODIs and 23 T20IS under Boucher.
South Africa are currently on Number two position in WTC Points table.
CSA Chief Executive Officer Pholetsi Moseki commented:
“We would like to thank Mark for the time and effort he has invested in South African cricket as the Head Coach over the past three years. He has helped navigate us through some rough waters following the departures of so many senior players through retirement. And has helped lay some strong foundations for the next generation of Proteas.
We are extremely grateful to him for the work he has done and would like to wish him well with the next chapter of his career.”
Director of Cricket Enoch Nkwe added:
“We are deeply saddened by Mark’s decision to leave us but we also understand and respect his wishes. He is a Proteas legend and has done so much for the game in our country, both on the field. And over the last three years off it, which we highly appreciate.
“He has built a sound platform for South Africa to flourish in all three formats. And I’m sure we will see the results of that at the T20 World Cup next month. Also he has a settled squad already, one that is growing in confidence. And we look forward to watching them in their important series in India before they head to Australia.”
