JP Duminy steps down as South Africa’s limited-overs batting coach

"JP Duminy, a highly respected figure in South African cricket, has been an integral part of the limited-overs coaching team since joining in March 2023," CSA announced in a statement on X.

"His contributions to the growth and development of the batting department within the national white-ball setup have been invaluable," it added.

In a 15-year career between 2004 and 2019, Duminy played 46 Tests, 199 ODIs, and 81 T20Is for South Africa.

"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," CSA further stated.

Duminy’s exit from the coaching staff leaves South Africa without a batting coach as immediately after the conclusion of their ongoing second Test against Sri Lanka in Gqeberha, they will host Pakistan for T20Is and ODIs.

South Africa will play three T20Is and as many ODIs against Pakistan from December 10-22, following which the two teams will engage in a two-Test series starting on the Boxing Day.
