Mark Boucher

Mark Verdon Boucher (born 3 December 1976) is a South African cricket coach and former player who has represented his country in all three formats. Boucher is recognized as one of the greatest wicket-keeper batters of all time, and he holds the record for the most Test dismissals by a wicket-keeper, with 532 catches and 555 dismissals overall.


In the Indian Premier League, he has played for Border, Warriors, South Africa, Africa XI, ICC World XI, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Kolkata Knight Riders. He is presently the Titans' head coach.

Since the 1997/1998 trip to Australia, he has been a regular member of the South African team until his retirement from international cricket in July 2012, following a catastrophic eye injury against Somerset.

Paul Adams stated in oath that Mark Boucher and other teammates racially assaulted him by calling him a "brown shit" in a team song during the Cricket South Africa (CSA) Social Justice and Nation Building (SJN) transformation public hearings in 2021.
