Bring on the new era, says team director Mark Boucher, as he yearns to see his squad in action again

The Proteas came out of their culture camp at Skukuza in Mpumalanga in August with a new adopted identity, and team director Mark Boucher has said he and his assistant Enoch Nkwe cannot wait to have the players lay the foundations for a new era.

The 2019/2020 season was prematurely ended in March when the Covid-19 outbreak forced the team to cut short their limited-overs tour to India‚ while local cricket also ended abruptly a few days later. The Proteas have plummeted to an embarrassing sixth in the International Cricket Council Test rankings and are ranked fifth in the two white-ball formats. Boucher said he wanted to see some improvements.

“We want to get on the field and start playing. It’s been a long break. I don’t think the players have had this long a break since school days.
