DURBAN, Thursday (Reuters) - Former South African captain Hansie Cronje has been appointed as a financial manager by a company listed on the Johannesburg stock exchange, newspapers reported on Thursday.

Independent Group papers reported that Bell Equipment had hired 32-year-old Cronje, who was banned from cricket for life in 2000 by United Cricket Board of South Africa for his involvement in match fixing.

Cronje, who is in his second year of study for a masters degree in business leadership, has joined the company's finance division and will help structure financial and insurance deals for Bell's clients.

"Cronje has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty in a court of law, and that hasn't happened yet," Bell chief executive Gary Bell was quoted as saying.
