South Africa coach Mark Boucher has said that present skipper Quinton de Kock can become the most capped player for the side. "It's a special occasion for any player. It's just the start of his career. There's possibly another 100 Test matches there for him," ESPNcricinfo quoted Boucher as saying.
"Quinny is a special cricketer. He is the type of player opposition hope doesn't get into good form because he can take the game away from anyone very quickly," said Boucher.
Talking about Quinton de Kock being the captain, Boucher said that the management has added an extra responsibility on him. "Being a captain is an extra [responsibility] we have added on to him. We're trying to help him out as much as we can in that department. But I'm very happy he has taken on that role," he added.
The Proteas coach further said that he is optimistic that De Kock will be among some runs in the series against Pakistan. "I know it's tough at times, especially if your performances aren't exactly where you want them to be. Hopefully, we can get the best of Quinny in this series. It can only be good for him as a person, a captain, and also for the team," said Boucher.
South Africa is touring Pakistan for two Tests and three T20Is. The first Test began on January 26 while the second clash will take place in Rawalpindi from February 4. The two sides will then travel to Lahore for the T20I series slated to begin from February 11.
