Cricket South Africa has parted ways with white-ball team batting coach JP Duminy. This comes after the team's former player resigned from his role on Friday (December 6) following a mutual agreement with the governing body.
Duminy was appointed as the white-ball head coach of the South Africa national cricket team in March 2023. He worked under head coach Rob Walter after the new era ushered in Proteas cricket after the end of Mark Boucher's passage.
South Africa has had decent success in white-ball cricket under the leadership of JP Duminy.
Under Duminy, South Africa enjoyed decent success in white-ball cricket. When he was in charge, the Proteas reached the semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2023 before losing to the Australian national cricket team in the knockout match.
Before joining South Africa, Duminy was the head coach of SA20 team Paarl Royals and national team Boland. There's a chance he'll take on that role. Recently, he was appointed as the head coach of Sharjah Warriorz in the International T20 League (ILT20).
