Proteas coach Mark Boucher was impressed by Keshav Maharaj’s leadership, who stepped in to fill the shoes vacated by injured regular skipper Temba Bavuma. Proteas KeshavMaharaj MarkBoucher By shockerhess

Maharaj mixed and matched bowlers in those conditions superbly helping the Dolphins to great success in recent seasons. “He’s got a great feel for the game, especially when you’re playing a lot of spinners,” said Boucher.

In his second game in charge, Maharaj utilised spinners for 40 overs, with Boucher highlighting how even when Aiden Markram conceded 18 runs in his first two overs of that match, while bowling in the power play, Maharaj showed confidence in him, and brought him back on to bowl later in the innings. Markram finished with 2/41 in 10 overs in the third ODI.Throughout the T20 series, Maharaj mixed and matched his bowlers as the moment demanded.

“I just think he has a good feel for the game, and also the way he dealt with his players and especially the spinners was great, and it shows he’s got great leadership within our unit as well, which will stand us in good stead especially in spinning conditions.” Boucher and the Proteas brainstrust believe those are exactly the kind of conditions they will encounter at the T20 World Cup, which will be played in the UAE, Oman and Qatar next month. Before then, those pitches will play host to matches in the Indian Premier League and then the preliminary round of the World Cup, featuring eight teams.Boucher is happy that the Proteas squad for that tournament has sufficient options and that it can adopt different strategies.

“We left out Anrich a few times, he’s been fantastic and if we get to a wicket where we think he can be a match-winner then we must play him. We’ve got a lot of spinners we can turn to now, which is great to have, especially going into the UAE. We’ll look at those conditions and weigh up whether we need to carry an extra all-rounder, or an extra batter – we have those options. It’s not horses for courses, it’s about playing the conditions.
