Graeme Smith: I have considered an international comeback

Former South African captain Greaeme Smith admitted that he has thought about making a comeback to international cricket.

South Africa were just beaten 3-0 in a four-match series in India, where they struggled on turning pitches. Smith, who retired last year, is currently preparing for the Masters Champions League (MCL) in the United Arab Emirates and admitted that he has thought about a comeback.

“Who knows the MCL could be a platform back into the international game,” Smith told ‘The National’ newspaper.

“I get asked this question a lot. It does spend time in your head, especially when you see the boys struggling in India you think you can contribute, but we’ll see. I’ll go back train, prepare and get ready for the MCL,” the 34-year-old said.

“For me, I’m at the cusp of whether I should play international cricket again or not,” he said.

“I’m 34 now, (I) retired at 33, there’s always that question mark of whether I can play for another 3-4 years. I know I can. But, it’s just about … I’m at the cusp. I’m looking forward to the MCL and take it from there,” he added.
