ESPN Cricinfo quoted Boucher as saying “We always knew that Quinny has got a very smart cricketing brain. He had a couple of different field placings which I thought were good and he was thinking out of the box.”.
Boucher also said that the wicket-keeper/batsman leads his team quite well and has a good understanding of the game.
He said, “Quinny enjoys being in the game. Sometimes he sits in the dressing room during Test-match cricket and he gets really irritated because he wants to be doing something all the time.”
“I think he really enjoys it. The off-the-field stuff is the stuff that might get to him a bit. We’re going to have to help him in that regard. But certainly, on the field, he leads well.”
South Africa faced a two-wicket defeat in the third ODI against England on Sunday. The three-match series ended at 1-1.
“Faf is still one of our best T20 players. We feel at this point in time he needs a bit of a break away from the game. It’s always good to have a bit of a rest. There is going to be a lot of cricket for them leading up to a World Cup so any opportunity we get to give guys a bit of rest and give other guys opportunities to see what they’re all about,” he said.
South Africa and England will face each other off in a three-match T20I series that starts from February 12.
