Graeme Smith Is Definitely Not Resigning As Proteas Skipper

Despite rumours of his resignation as SA’s test cricket captain, which spread like wildfire yesterday in social media channels following the Proteas’ resounding defeat to Sri Lanka, Graeme Smith is not resigning. While a comment on Twitter alluded to him possibly stepping down as skipper, he has confirmed that this “is not the case at all”.

He stated:

“As long as Gary [Kirsten] and the team want me in the job, I’ll do the job.

For as long as I’m wanted as captain, I’ll get in and do the job to the best of my ability.

Unfortunately, when you lose in the manner that we did today, there are disappointing stories out there but I think that one was a bit too much.”

The Proteas will face Sri Lanka in the third and final test at Newlands, starting on 3 January.
