Massive responsibilities for Graeme Smith

Smith, Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) director of cricket, is currently a busy man before their away series against Pakistan, starting on January 26. The tour consists of two Tests and three T20Is. The veteran is staying on his toes, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“When you work on bio-secure environment protocols for Covid-19, you work with other member nations and if member nations don’t support each other and play cricket, cricket’s going to find itself in a very challenging space,” Smith was quoted as saying in a virtual press conference.

Smith stated that the Proteas would be using two different teams on the tour of Pakistan. After the completion of the Tests, the members could come back and go into quarantine ahead of their home series against Australia.

“Your objective is to find the protocols that work for both. In working with Cricket Australia (CA), we’ve come to a lot of those medical conclusions and how that’s going to look. There will be an initial quarantine period before that series. Unfortunately, we would have to play two different squads at the time,” he stated.

“We would love to get our home summer completed, and Australia are a big part of that home summer. We saw from the Australia-India series the hype around Test cricket. I think it’s going to be a great test of where we are as a squad. We are motivated,” Smith added.
