Boucher hopes SA IPL contingent will help with 'bits of information' on UAE TiisetsoMalepa
Mark Boucher is aiming to become the first coach to win a major ICC trophy with the Proteas.Mark Boucher hopes his Proteas Indian Premier League contingent will feed the team with important information on conditions in the United Arab Emirates , where five of his T20 World Cup-bound squad members will be involved in the conclusion of the league.
“We've spoken to the guys going off to the IPL that they need to stay disciplined. We realise that we want to peak at the right time as a unit,” said Boucher after guiding the Proteas to a third consecutive T20 away series win. Boucher was pleased for Markram, who became the latest South African to secure an IPL contract when the Punjab Kings snapped him up this week.
Former captains AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, Marco Jansen and Chris Morris are the other players. Dubai will host the majority of the matches followed by Sharjah, while Abu Dhabi will see the least action. The selectors selected three specialist spinners in the 15-member World Cup squad. Aiden Markram's off spin takes the number of spinners to four.
