Africa-Press – South-Africa. Cricket South Africa (CSA) released a statement on Saturday evening reaffirming its support for Proteas coach Mark Boucher.
In the statement, the governing body moved to quash “speculation regarding Boucher’s position as Proteas head coach”.
CSA earlier in the week withdrew all disciplinary charges levelled against Boucher.
The governing body had set a disciplinary hearing for 16 May, with charges that involved racism aired against Boucher. However, in a massive about-turn, CSA dropped all charges.
According to Saturday’s statement, CSA is keen for Boucher to continue as head coach of the men’s national team.
The CSA statement read:
Lawson Naidoo
, the chairperson of the CSA board, added: “We look forward to continuing to work with Mark into the future and we hope all South Africans can come together as one to get behind our team, which we know has the ability to reach the very pinnacle of achievement across all formats.”
CSA concluded that it considered the matter closed and did not intend to make further statements.
