South African Players Support Coach Mark Boucher, Says Captain Dean Elgar
South African cricket captain Dean Elgar said on Wednesday that his players supported head coach Mark Boucher, who faces a disciplinary process on charges of racism that could result in his dismissal. Elgar was non-committal about whether he personally would testify in Boucher's defence in hearings which have been delayed until May because Boucher intends to call some current players to testify. It was announced on Tuesday that the hearings would be delayed until South Africa has completed a tour of New Zealand and an incoming tour by Bangladesh.
