Mark Taylor Calls For Steve Smith’s Return To Australia T20I Team
After Australia sans Smith were knocked out of Super Eight stage of Men’s T20 World Cup in June, the right-handed batter wasn't selected in the 20-over squad for the tour of Scotland and England. Australia opted to draft in young Jake-Fraser McGurk, who made two ducks and a knock of 16 in the recent series win over Scotland.
"I'm interested to see what Australia does from here on with that top order to replace Dave Warner. It seems to be at the moment it's about putting more and more hitters in there and eventually one of them will come off. I think that's a bit of a flawed plan because I'd like to see Steve Smith back in our order somewhere," said Taylor on Nine's Wide World of Sports show.
