Smith To Move Back To Middle-order For Tests Against India, Confirms Bailey
New South Wales: Australia’s premier batter Steve Smith will be back to batting in the middle-order for the side in the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India later this year, confirmed chief selector George Bailey.
Smith had moved up from number four to opening the batting in Tests after David Warner's retirement following the game against Pakistan at Sydney. But playing as an opener in four Tests against the West Indies and New Zealand, Smith didn’t have success, scoring 171 runs at an average of 28.50.
At the same time, Bailey didn’t confirm if Smith will be back to playing at number four. "Pat, Andrew, and Steve Smith had been having ongoing convers, separate to the untimely injury to Cameron (Green).”
