The Daily Telegraph's Senior cricket writer Ben Horne has spoken to Sky News about cricketer Steve Smith and whether the Australian batsman may again be captain of the national side in the future. "Cricket Australia has a decision to make," Mr Horne told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
"They should address it soon because it's going to creep up when it comes to the point when a change of captain will need to happen". Steve Smith and two other Australian Test players had been banned in 2018, with Smith stripped of the national captaincy, after the trio were involved in a ball-tampering scandal during a Test match against South Africa that year.

Mass vaccination hubs are how you 'supercharge the process': Chris Smith | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Smith says 'mass vaccination hubs' are how you 'supercharge' the rollout process as he praised 'hero Premier' Gladys Berejiklian for her plan to use Sydney Olympic Park to speed up the state's jab rollout.\n\n'Today, the hero Premier of this pandemic, Gladys Berijiklian, was thinking big... big like the US and the UK, which have been using drive-through sporting venues to rollout the jab, and sporting stadiums, to service tens of thousands at a time,' he said.\n\nThe Berejiklian government and NSW Health are planning to open a mass vaccination hub at Sydney Olympic Park, likely inside the Royal Easter Show precinct, to speed up the state's jab rollout.\n\n'This is how you supercharge the process. And whether it can be done or not, given the slow release of actual vaccine vials, at least a plan is being formulated, so that if doses from CSL in Melbourne do arrive in their tens of thousands, NSW has a mass vaccination hub to take advantage of those circumstances,' Mr Smith said.\n\n'But as the PM reiterated today, circumstances would be very different if the EU hadn't stood in the way of some 3.1 million doses.\n\n'But for the first time since the government began explaining the hold-up, the European Union has weighed in, and don't sound too happy with what they're being accused of.\n\n'Australia is in a very small-risk environment. But as winter approaches, efforts need to ramp up to get the other half of the Aged Care population, and the vulnerable, vaccinated before June.'\n
