Cricket South Africa announced the decision on Friday, saying it was made following a mutual agreement based on personal reasons.

 

“JP Duminy, a stalwart of South African cricket, has been a key member of the limited-overs coaching staff since his appointment in March 2023,” CSA said in a statement. 


“His contributions to the growth and development of the batting department within the national white-ball setup have been invaluable.”


Duminy was with the white-ball team during their run to the 2023 ODI World Cup semi-final last year but had to leave the camp ahead of this year's T20 World Cup in the USA and Caribbean in June, also for personal reasons. 


The Proteas will play three Twenty20 internationals against Pakistan starting from December 10, followed by three one-day matches. 

 

Cricket South Africa said the process to identify a replacement has begun, and the appointment of a new white-ball batting coach will be announced in due course.
