SA Cricket: Mark Boucher unveiled as Proteas coach while CSA issues smoulder By Craig Ray craigray11
The 43-year-old Boucher, who played 147 Tests for the Proteas and is considered South Africa’s greatest ever wicketkeeper-batsman, has been a successful domestic coach over the past four seasons. His no-nonsense leadership style, vast experience and deep technical insight are essential to rebuilding a Proteas team in decline.
Against this backdrop, the organisation is still reeling after two weeks of scandal and turmoil that revealed a deep leadership rot from president Chris Nenzani and CEO Thabang Moroe, to a complicit board.possession, as well as interviews with seven key figures paint a picture of the leadership of an organisation that had turned itself into a fiefdom for a select few.
Structurally, managerially and operationally, much blood still has to flow to clean up the dysfunctional organisation, which could be a case study illustrating the collapse of corporate governance. But in terms of rectifying the playing side of the game, there has been some positive movement. Linda Zondi, who was the previous convenor of selectors until after the Cricket World Cup 2019, will form a selection panel with Boucher, captain Faf du Plessis and Nkwe. The CSA board has been completely by-passed in the new structure.There is no relationship [with the board] at this stage,” Smith said. “My point of call had been Jacques . We’re trying to sort the game and take it forward.I didn’t have a lot of confidence in the leadership of CSA.
