According to ESPNCRICINFO report, Smith can bat with a splint if you want, but it can be difficult for him to do fielding especially in slip. Australia now has to play a Test series against the West Indies from 25 June, but Smith’s availability is still in doubt. Apart from this, he was also going to participate in Major League cricket in America, but now he also looks difficult.
For Australia, Smith is not just a great batsman, but also the most trusted fielder in slip. In such a situation, their absence can be a big shock for the team, especially when the match is so close.
