This comes as CSA dropped all charges stemming from the SJN report against Boucher.

The former Proteas wicketkeeper, Boucher, was set to undergo a disciplinary hearing on Monday and the domestic governing body was calling for his immediate dismissal.

On the weekend, CSA, issued a statement in which they indicated that Boucher will continue for the remaining 18 months of his contract.

CSA wishes to confirm that:

-              The charges against Mr. Boucher were unreservedly withdrawn, the effect of which is that Mr. Boucher has been cleared of the charges against him, including the charge of racism;

-              CSA regrets that Mr. Boucher had the cloud of the charges hanging over his head but is pleased that the matter is now resolved;

-              Mr. Boucher has the support of CSA and CSA is confident that the Proteas team will continue to make strides towards building a culture of mutual respect and inclusivity;

-              Mr. Boucher has confirmed to CSA that he intends to fulfil the remainder of his contract, which ends after the 2023 World Cup; and

-              CSA looks forward to Mr. Boucher guiding the Proteas team to their first World Test Championship Final, in June 2023.

Last week Boucher stated that he wishes to continue coaching the Proteas.
