Smith Cleared To Join Australian Team In The UAE, To Resume Batting Later This Week
The Galle International Cricket Stadium: Steve Smith has been cleared to join the Australian Test team in their pre-season camp in the UAE ahead of their series against Sri Lanka and will resume batting later this week, said Cricket Australia (CA) on Monday.
Smith was named as Australia’s Test captain for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour after Pat Cummins was unavailable due to left ankle soreness and the birth of his second child. But Smith sustained an injury to his right elbow whilst throwing in the field for the Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League on Friday.
Smith was later spotted wearing an elbow brace, leaving many worried about him becoming fit in time for the Sri Lanka tour. But CA’s latest update has quashed all those fears around his availability, as he now links up with the team in their camp at the ICC Academy in Dubai.
