Former South Africa cricket team captain Graeme Smith might reportedly well be ready to play again, merely a week after the batsman announced his divorce from his wife of four years, Irish singer Morgan Deane.

It has been reportedly revealed that Smith might be toying with the idea of coming out of semi-retirement.

The former skipper is currently attending the Cricket World Cup in Australia and hinted that a return to competitive action might not be far off, Sport24 reported.

It has been reported that South Africa's domestic team, the Titans, are interested in enlisting Smith into their team after approaching the former left-handed batsman.

Smith retired from international cricket in March 2014 after playing in 117 Tests for South Africa, scoring 9,265 runs at an average of 48.25, the report added.
