Cricket SA (CSA) has appointed Graeme Smith to lead the new T20 League scheduled to take place in the country in January and February next year.
To illustrate their seriousness in getting the T20 League off the ground, CSA last week withdrew the Proteas from the ODI series against Australia in January to leave the team in danger of missing out on automatic qualification for the World Cup.
CSA explained that they took the decision to withdraw the Proteas from the three-match series because they wanted to have all the Proteas players available for the T20 League. CSA said Smith, the Proteas' most successful Test captain and former opening batter, will oversee all cricketing and non-cricketing aspects and develop what is anticipated to be a dynamic brand that showcases the strength of SA cricket.
