Mark Boucher Says South Africa Unrest Taking A Toll Of Proteas In Ireland
South Africa cricket coach Mark Boucher has said civil unrest at home allied to a prolonged spell in a bio-bubble are taking their toll on the Proteas squad in Ireland. South Africa were well-beaten by Ireland in a one-day international on Tuesday before squaring the series with victory on Friday.
The matches took place against a backdrop of more than a week of chaos in South Africa, with over 200 deaths amid widespread rioting and looting that led to medical shortages at a time when the country is experiencing its third wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
