Warner Endorses Head As Aus Test Captain If Smith Isn’t Available For SL Tour
Smith was named as Australia’s Test captain for the Sri Lanka tour after Pat Cummins was unavailable due to left ankle soreness and the birth of his second child. But Cricket Australia (CA) said on Sunday that 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, who was spotted wearing an elbow brace, is yet to join the Australian pre-tour camp at the ICC Academy in Dubai after seeing a specialist. But if he isn’t fit for the first Test in Galle, then Warner expects for Head, named as vice-captain for the Sri Lanka tour, to become Australia’s 48th Test skipper.
