Graeme Smith said he was not confident that he would have been given the freedom to do the job on his own terms.

Faf du Plessis of South Africa and Graeme Smith at Newlands Cricket Ground, Cape Town.JOHANNESBURG - Former South African captain Graeme Smith has withdrawn his interest in becoming Cricket South Africa's director of cricket.

Smith confirmed that he had been interviewed by CSA for a position which would effectively have put him in charge of the national team, who have endured a miserable set of results since losing a home Test series against Sri Lanka in February.

The relatively inexperienced Enoch Nkwe was appointed interim team director for a tour of India in which South Africa lost all three Tests by wide margins last month. "I give my heartfelt best wishes to whomever does take the role on. I will continue to support the teams and give my advice and guidance whenever I can."
