Graeme Smith said that it is unreal to watch the situation in India at the moment. As per him, CSA has given BCCI enough time to plan things out. Let’s see if India tour is possible or not.

The former Proteas opener also talked about free-agents like Imran Tahir and Chris Morris. He feels that West Indies has also managed to churn out more success in the past. However, he feels many factors are involved in roping free agents back into the side
“We have seen the success the West Indies has had in bringing back free agents,” said Smith.
