Cricket South Africa has parted ways with the batting coach of the white-ball team JP Duminy. This comes after the former player of the team stepped down from his role on Friday (6th December) after 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 the head coach Rob Walter after the new era ushered in Proteas cricket following the end of the stint of Mark Boucher.
