Boucher: Jansen Is a Rare Talent

South Africa coach Mark Boucher has heaped praise on Marco Jansen following the Proteas' 2-1 series win over India. Jansen played a starring role in the series, taking 19 wickets at an average of 16.42, including a match-winning 5 for 50 in the third and final Test in Cape Town.

Jansen's All-Round Skills Impress Boucher

Boucher was particularly impressed with Jansen's all-round skills. The 21-year-old not only bowled with great pace and accuracy but also contributed with the bat, scoring 63 runs in the series, including a valuable 40 in the first innings of the third Test.

Boucher: Jansen Can Be a World-Class All-rounder

Boucher believes that Jansen has the potential to become a world-class all-rounder. "He's a rare talent," Boucher said. "He's got all the attributes to be a top all-rounder. He's got the height, the pace, the skill, and he's a very good batsman as well."

Jansen's Rise to Prominence

Jansen's rise to prominence has been rapid. He made his Test debut against India in January 2022 and has quickly established himself as one of the most promising young fast bowlers in the world.

Jansen's Future Prospects

Jansen is expected to play a key role for South Africa in the upcoming ICC World Test Championship final against New Zealand. He will also be a key member of the Proteas squad for the 2023 ODI World Cup.
