Cricket: Steve Smith sent a scare through the Australian World Cup squad after being struck in the nets.
Smith struck as Head pushes for return | 00:25Australia’s already shaky World Cup campaign faced another worrying moment this week when Steve Smith was left in the hands of medical staff at training.
Pace bowler Sean Abbott slammed a delivery into the right arm of Smith that resulted in blood being drawn. Despite needing to be checked over, Smith ultimately returned to the nets in a move that shows he will likely be ready for Wednesday’s match. The insertion of Head would then likely push Mitch Marsh back to the number three spot with Marnus Labuschagne most likely in the gun.
