De Villiers, the former Proteas’ captain and world-class batsman, retired in 2017 but reports emerged during SA’s disastrous Cricket World Cup campaign a few months ago of him wanting to rescind the decision before the tournament.“When you go to a World Cup‚ you want your best players playing for you. I feel that he’s one of the best players‚ then why wouldn’t I want to have conversations with him?” Boucher said.
Boucher said Cricket SA’s recent leadership and administrative instability does have the potential of destabilising a team. Having the right leadership and structures are critical in taking the team forward, he said. “The game has been hurt and the bottom line is that Enoch [Nkwe] and I have been put in place to get the Proteas doing well. If we look after that space‚ I think we'll get the fans and crowds behind us.”
