Former South Africa fast bowler Lonwabo Tsotsobe said former captain Graeme Smith had threatened to retire if Thami Tsolekile was selected as wicketkeeper in the national squad.

Tsotsobe said that Tsolekile's selection was blocked by Smith so as to stop a black player coming into the fold and AB de Villiers was then made wicketkeeper.
