He said, as quoted by cricket.co.za: "We would like to thank Mark for the time and effort he has invested in South African cricket as the head coach over the past three years. He has helped navigate us through some rough waters following the departures of so many senior players through retirement and has helped lay some strong foundations for the next generation of Proteas. "We are extremely grateful to him for the work he has done and would like to wish him well with the next chapter of his career." CSA director of cricket Enoch Nkwe stated that he respected the veteran's decision to bow out. He said: "We are deeply saddened by Mark’s decision to leave us but we also understand and respect his wishes. He is a Proteas legend and has done so much for the game in our country, both on the field and over the last three years off it, which we highly appreciate. "He has built a sound platform for South Africa to flourish in all three formats and I’m sure we will see the results of that at the T20 World Cup next month." The Proteas are yet to win the T20 World Cup since the start of the competition in 2007. However, they should fancy themselves in Australia this year, given their formidable bowling attack.
