Graeme Smith

South Africa's Director of Cricket Graeme Smith thanked the Indian players and BCCI for showing faith in the hosts' ability to successfully stage matches amid the pandemic, saying their exemplary commitment has "set the example" for others to follow.

The BCCI decided to go ahead with the tour of South Africa despite growing concern about the spread of the new COVID-19 variant - Omicron, which was first reported in the Rainbow Nation.

India and South Africa played out a successful tour, including three Tests and as many ODIs. "Big thank you @BCCI @JayShah @SGanguly99 and the Indian players and management for the faith you showed in SA cricket's ability to pull off a safe and successful tour. Your commitment at an uncertain time has set the example that a lot can follow," Smith tweeted.
