    "editor1": "<p><strong>Johannesburg, Dec 11:<\/strong>&nbsp;Former South African captain Graeme Smith has been appointed Cricket South Africa&#39;s director of cricket on an interim basis. CSA acting CEO Jacques Faul said on Wednesday that Smith will remain in the role till the Indian Premier League (IPL) next year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;ve publicly stated a number of times that I would love to assist CSA in this difficult time, particularly in developing this new role of Director of Cricket. I&#39;m still as passionate about South African cricket as I ever was and I&#39;m looking forward to getting stuck into the role,&quot; Smith is quoted as saying by the CSA.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Smith has been on the CSA radar for some time now with the 38-year-old last month stating that he had withdrawn his interest for the role. &quot;Obviously, Graeme has had his concerns during the course of the last few months, but I am pleased to say that we have overcome those concerns and I look forward to working with him to urgently address pressing cricketing matters in particular.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Graeme is statistically the most successful Test captain in the history of the game,&quot; said Faul.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
