Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Circumstances forced Smith to give up keeping and instead turned to wrist spin - a tough art that he mastered and gradually gained control. Once tipped as a future replacement for Mark Boucher, the closest that Smith came in line for South African honours was when he was named in the preliminary 30-man probables for the 2009 World T20 Cup.
Smith led the Dolphins for several seasons with distinction before being replaced by Morne van Wyk. With chances of playing for his country long gone by, he signed a two-year deal with Derbyshire in 2017.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Daryn Smit, a more-than useful all-round cricketer, joined Derbyshire in 2017 as a non-overseas player after a 14-year career with Dolphins in South Africa.
The former-Dolphins Captain arrived at Derbyshire with a first-class career amounting to 5,711 runs at an average of 37 and nine hundreds, and 106 first-class wickets after, through force of circumstance, developing into a wrist spinner after initially starting his career as a wicketkeeper, where he claimed 473 catches behind the stumps.
He played for South Africa A and the nearest he came to international selection was a place in the Proteas' initial Long List for the 2009 T20 World Cup.
Before joining Derbyshire, Smit spent three seasons with Ramsbottom CC in the Lancashire League where he scored heavily and his leg-spin claimed 245 wickets in only 69 matches at just 7.85.
