Mark Boucher is eyeing to make his return in one-dayers


Mark Boucher is desperate of making his come back to South African one-day. Boucher came to India to play in Champions League T-20 where he represents Warriors. He has drenched in the questions towards the end of press meat earlier this week. Media throw some interesting of topics like migration of South African cricketing talent to his decision to move to Cape Cobras next season, and whether he could make as wicket keeper for Proteas in future.

Boucher eyeing for ODI comeback
The wicket keeper said that he had made it absolutely clear that he considered himself the man who should don the gloves for South Africa. He also insisted that there are some young talents who are fighting hard to gain there place in squad and giving him tough competition. 

He added that there are some fine contenders but it is actually up to the guys to put their hands up and say, that is his position. Boucher added that tit is tough but till he is good enough to represent his country, he still passionate enough to want to play for country. So he don't want to look too far behind and rather look in front. 

The 34-year-old Boucher, has last played for South Africa's limited-overs in last year against West Indies. He failed to perform which cost his losing his place, Boucher made only 60 runs in his last five innings and last made half century in 2008 October. Earlier, a year ago, South Africa's then coach Corrie van Zyl had said that Boucher needed to improve his game to make a limited-overs comeback.

However Boucher feels that he has improved and quoted that he have been working really hard on game and his fitness levels this last off season. 

South Africa team has been experimenting with wicket keepers like Kuhn in Twenty20s and AB de Villiers turned into full time wicket-keeper for one-dayers. Boucher will be facing much tough completion as de Villiers is in good form in recent past.
