Mark Boucher has been announced as the new head coach of the South Africa men's team on a four-year deal, running until 2023, with Enoch Nkwe, who was the interim team director, taking up the role of assistant coach, reports Cricinfo.
"I have brought Boucher on board because I feel he will bring the toughness to turn a young and inexperienced Proteas squad into a battle-ready outfit," Graeme Smith, the newly-appointed CSA acting director of cricket, said.
"With his experience of a long career as an international cricketer he has first hand experience of what it takes to succeed in the Test arena.
"I have the highest regard for Enoch as well and I want to create a clear path for him to grow into a top international coach. At the same time there is a clear need to maintain continuity and stability in the Proteas management team and we will be retaining the technical support staff along with Volvo Masubelele continuing as team manager and Justin Ontong as fielding coach.
"I will be appointing batting and bowling consultants, and these
will be announced in the next
couple of days."
