Smith to give Champions League a miss

Graeme Smith has withdrawn from the Cape Cobras squad for the Champions League Twenty20, which starts in India from October. Smith had suffered cramps while batting against England in their final Champions Trophy match, and Cricket South Africa (CSA) made the decision on Tuesday after being advised by the medical committee.

"After much discussion and deliberation, the Proteas' management together with the medical committee of Cricket South Africa headed by Dr Shuaib Manjra have made a decision to withdraw Graeme from the upcoming Champions League in India," said Dr Mohammed Moosajee, the national team manager. "This decision is based on Graeme's current upper limb dysfunction."
