Former South African cricketer JP Duminy has stepped down from his role as the national white-ball batting coach, citing personal reasons. Cricket South Africa (CSA) has confirmed his decision in an official statement, announcing that Duminy’s departure was based on a mutual agreement effective immediately.
“Cricket South Africa (CSA) announces that JP Duminy has stepped down from his role as the white-ball batting coach with immediate effect, following a mutual agreement with CSA based on personal reasons,” said CSA in an official statement.
Duminy was appointed in March 2023 as part of Rob Walter’s coaching staff, marking a new era for South African cricket following Mark Boucher’s departure. His tenure coincided with South Africa’s strong showing in the 2023 ODI World Cup, where the team reached the semifinals. However, Duminy’s contributions were briefly interrupted earlier this year when he had to leave the white-ball squad ahead of the T20 World Cup in June for similar personal reasons.
