South Africa wicketkeeper Boucher has shot down claims he put the lucrative Indian Premier League ahead of his domestic club and their ambitions in the Pro20 League.
Boucher and Proteas team-mate Jacques Kallis remained in India after the recent Test series to play for the Bangalore Royal Challengers, while their Cape Cobras team-mates were beaten by the Titans in the semi-finals of the Standard Bank Pro20 competition.
Boucher told the Cape Times: "We made ourselves available because we were committed but we were made to feel like pawns in somebody else's game.
"The inferences about money were unpleasant and unfair. We are upset about it.
"Cobras coach Shukri Conrad eventually called me to explain but I was not at all convinced by his reasons.
"Nobody even called Jacques. No doubt there were various administrators having their say in the decision."
