Outgoing Proteas coach Mark Boucher has thrown his weight behind Temba Bavuma to steer the team in the T20 World Cup in Australia next month.

Mark Boucher and Temba Bavuma during a Proteas training session at Newlands in Cape Town in January.Outgoing Proteas coach Mark Boucher has thrown his weight behind"our leader" Temba Bavuma to steer the team in the T20 World Cup in Australia next month.

The 32-year-old top-order batter was in the eye of the storm this week after he went unsold at the SA20 auction, a development that left him"disappointed" and sparked outrage in certain quarters. “Unfortunately I wasn’t involved in that auction or coaching in any one of those teams,” said Boucher before the Proteas departed for India on Friday, where they are scheduled to play a T20 and ODI series that starts on Wednesday and ends on October 11.

“One thing I can say is that leagues come and go. I [fully understand] and respect this new league in South African cricket. I think it is needed, but let’s separate the national team from league.

Temba is a solid player the team can really rely on. He will bat throughout the innings and score 20 runs off 100 balls.
