Star batsman Steve Smith landed for net practice on Wednesday. Smith, the world’s number one Test batsman, left the practice session on Tuesday and went to the dressing room. Captain Tim Paine said on Wednesday that this was his precautionary step. He is ready to take the field against India in the day-night Test starting on Thursday.
Tim Paine said, ‘His (Smith) preparation is very good. A day’s rest can be considered good for them. He has returned to training. Actually, his waist was twisted while picking up the ball.
Before the four-Test series, the Australian team is troubled by the injuries of its players. Opener David Warner has been ruled out of the opening Test due to injury. Young batsman Will Pukowski suffered a head injury.
Captain Penn said that young all-rounder Cameron Green is fine now. He suffered a minor injury in the practice match last week. That is, this 21-year-old all-rounder running in form is ready to make his Test debut in Adelaide.
