Mr. Boucher has decided to quit in order to seek other possibilities that align with his future professional and personal goals.

The Proteas are also ranked second in the ICC World Test Championship. Mr. Boucher has led South Africa to win 12 One-Day Internationals and 23 T20 Internationals, the most recent of which was a historic 2-1 series victory over England, cricket.co.za statement reads

"We would like to thank Mark for the time and work he has given in South African cricket as Head Coach over the past three years," said CSA Chief Executive Officer Pholetsi Moseki. He has guided us through some turbulent seas following the retirement of so many veteran players, and he has laid some solid foundations for the next generation of Proteas.
