Hopes that cricket in the country could soon turn a corner were dashed on Thursday when Graeme Smith withdrew his bid to join Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) staff.

TimesLIVE learnt at the weekend that the former South Africa captain had‚ on Friday‚ been interviewed for the new position of director of cricket.“I would love to have taken on the role‚” Smith wrote on at least one of his social media accounts.

Smith is inexperienced as an administrator‚ but the respect he earned by captaining South Africa 284 times in his 345 matches for them would have gone a long way in assuring the public‚ senior players‚ sponsors and broadcasters that cricket had acquired some desperately needed competence. The prospect of that happening isn’t being done any favours by the fact that‚ rather than working on their game in first-class matches‚ the country’s best players are busy with the Mzansi Super League.
