Cricket South Africa's (CSA) director of cricket Graeme Smith has defended his appointments of former long-time teammates in key positions within the Proteas and said the narrative is unfair.

Smith appointed team director Mark Boucher on a permanent basis while Jacques Kallis and Paul Harris were roped in on an interim arrangement during the England series.

“The narrative of a clique taking over is unfair. I didn’t appoint myself. I was appointed by a really vigorous process of mainly black African people in my interviews‚" he said.Smith said he made several other appointments and Boucher was not the only person roped into the setup on a permanent basis.
