Graeme Smith’s appointment as Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) director of cricket has been met with opposition by Gauteng based pressure group, the ‘Black African Cricket Clubs’ (BACC), who believe that Smith does not fully understand the dynamics of cricket in South Africa through the prism of equal opportunity for all.
Voicing the view of the BACC, chairperson Ntsongo Sibiya said, “The director of cricket has a responsibility to develop everyone. I’m not sure what (Smith) understands about a kid in Soweto (a black city alongside Johannesburg) or in a rural area. I don’t think he understands those dynamics. Anyone who has the potential to play must be given the opportunity to shine at the highest level, regardless of where they come from.”
