Gary Kirsten open to helping South Africa

New Delhi : With Cricket South Africa (CSA) looking down the barrel, former opener and coach Gary Kirsten could return to help the team in a mentor’s role for the series against England. According to a report in ESPNCricinfo, Kirsten said that he was always willing to help the national team. “I would always be willing to help where people think I can add value. It would, however, have be part of a bigger process to the commitment to rebuild a solid system,” Kirsten said.

The dark clouds are all over CSA at present, but the suspension of chief executive Thabang Moroe also has a silver lining as this could mean the speeding up of former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith’s appointment as Director of Cricket.

South Africa’s title sponsors Standard Bank on Friday announced the end of their partnership once the current deal ends next year on April 30. IANS
