Interim director of cricket Graeme Smith on Saturday revealed he appointed former wicketkeeper-batsman Boucher to "bring the toughness to turn a young and inexperienced Proteas squad into a battle-ready outfit".
Boucher has not ruled out turning to some older players바카라 웹사이트with plenty of knowhow ahead of the T20 World Cup next year, including maverick바카라 웹사이트35-year-old batsman De Villiers.

"If I feel he is one of your best players, why wouldn't I want to have a conversation with him? I've only just got into the job, I might have conversations with quite a few players and see where they are."
Boucher added: "You want your best players playing in the World Cup and if there's a couple of issues you need to iron out, with media, with team-mates, and if it's바카라 웹사이트for the good of South Africa, why not, let's do it."
Boucher has no power over바카라 웹사이트selecting players that바카라 웹사이트moved overseas to take up Kolpak deals바카라 웹사이트but would welcome being able to call upon them.
"If I can answer from a coach's perspective, absolutely. If you look at rugby, the way the Springboks won the World Cup, the experience they got from players playing overseas was invaluable." said the 43-year-old, who retired from playing in 2012 due to a serious eye injury.
"From a coach's perspective, I'd love to have the opportunity to deepen and strengthen the squad. It will keep everyone on their toes and will bring more excellence into the game in this country."
