Boucher dropped as vice-captain

JOHANNESBURG April 1. Mark Boucher has been dropped as vice-captain after South Africa's cricket board (UCB) decided against re-appointing anyone to the post.

The decision followed the sacking of Shaun Pollock as captain after South Africa failed to reach the second round of the World Cup. Graeme Smith, 22, was appointed captain earlier this month. A UCB media release on Monday said the selection panel had decided against naming a vice-captain for South Africa's tour to Bangladesh in April and May, "but has elected rather to work though a process to identify the right candidate during the tour".

The vice captain would be decided on a match-by-match basis, the UCB said. — Reuters
