In the latest development coming from the Australian camp, they have received a major boost as their former skipper and a Test legend, Steve Smith, has received a green signal to feature in the second Test match of the series against the West Indies. Smith, who missed the first match due to a dislocated finger, is confirmed to feature in the starting lineup, but he won’t be seen fielding at the slip position due to precautionary measures. Australia defeated the West Indies in the dramatic first Test match by 159 runs to take the lead 1-0 in the three-match series. The veteran Aussie player missed the match due to a dislocated finger that he sustained during the World Test Championship final against South Africa last month. Smith’s return to the Test side will provide much-needed batting strength to the Australian side, who were seen struggling in their first innings against the West Indies seamers in Barbados.

As per ESPNcricinfo, the 36-year-old batter went through some batting sessions ahead of the Grenada Test match, facing some bowling throwdowns from coach Matthew Mott and spinner Nathan Lyon. He also encountered pace bowlers Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc. He will most probably replace either Sam Kontas or Josh Inglis at the top order. Pat Cummins’ side started the series with a dominant 159-run victory over the hosts, taking the lead 1-0 in a three-match series. Travis Head and Josh Hazlewood were the standout performers from the Australian side. Head scored half-centuries across both innings, providing much-needed stability to the batting lineup while Josh Hazlewood wreaked havoc with a fifer in the second innings.
