South Africa were desperate for Boucher but should they be careful what they wish for?

Mark Boucher’s appointment as head coach of the Proteas enabled fans of the South African cricket team to finally breathe a sigh of relief after months of boardroom turmoil. The squabbles as the top table of South African cricket during 2019 have hurt the Proteas and couldn’t have come at a worse time given that they fell around the playing of the World Cup. The Proteas’ elimination from the 2019 World Cup in England had many in the cricket fraternity concerned about the future of one of the greatest sides of the international game. The fallout would then begin in earnest with one thing leading to another as Ottis Gibson was shown the door after his contract was not renewed, but the CSA board would wait until December to replace him, some four months after the West Indian was given his marching orders. JUST IN: Mark Boucher has been confirmed as the new head coach of the South African men's side. pic.twitter.com/EMuy3FETns — ICC (@ICC) December 14, 2019 By this tim
