Smith set to be CSA’s director of cricket
Former Test captain Graeme Smith is set to become Cricket South Africa’s director of cricket, according to CSA president Chris Nenzani, but South African cricket’s crisis continued, with Nenzani and his remaining board members refusing to heed calls to resign.
Tony Irish, chief executive of the SA Cricketers Association (SACA), which called on Friday for Nenzani and the entire board to resign, said in a tweet: “Appalled that the president and board of CSA have taken no responsibility for cricket’s biggest crisis. Now clinging to power.”
Asked for clarification, Irish described his tweet as “my initial reaction.” He said SACA was likely to make a detailed response on Sunday or Monday.
“I am happy to announce that we have engaged Graeme Smith and I am confirming that by next week Wednesday all of the negotiations around the contract terms that need to take place would have been concluded,” said Nenzani. -- Afp
