Mark Boucher’s lawyer, Mohammed Chavoos, has welcomed the dates for his disciplinary hearing.

Sport24 reports that the hearing is set to take place from 16-20 May.

This means that Boucher, who has travelled with the team to New Zealand for a two-match Test series, will also be in charge when South Africa host Bangladesh in March and April.

“We welcome this ruling, and it gives Mark the opportunity to focus on his duties as the head coach,” Chavoos told the website.

“It also enables his legal team to properly prepare for the May hearings. Mark also looks forward to establishing that the allegations made against him are misconstrued and unjustified.”
