Duminy started working with the Proteas' limited overs team in March 2023.

A statement from CSA read: "His contributions to the growth and development of the batting department within the national white-ball setup have been invaluable. CSA wishes Duminy all the best in his future endeavours and thanks him for his contributions to the Proteas men's team during his tenure.

"A process to identify a suitable replacement is currently underway, and the appointment of a new white-ball batting coach will be announced in due course."

The Proteas' next limited overs assignment is a three-game T20I series against Pakistan next week. They will tackle Pakistan in T20 clashes in Durban (10 December), Centurion, (13 December) and Johannesburg (14 December).

After the T20I series, there will also be three ODIs (17 December - Paarl; 19 December - Cape Town; and 22 December - Johannesburg) and two Tests (26-30 December - Centurion; and 3-7 January - Cape Town).
