Cricket: Steve Smith chats with media ahead of his Sydney Sixers debut, and what's to come with the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.
Superstar batter Steve Smith has vowed to “pass on as much knowledge as I can” when he takes charge of a Test squad loaded with emerging talent in Sri Lanka declaring boom teenager Sam Konstas has “all the tools” to thrive as a key part of the next generation of stars.
There had been calls for Travis Head to lead the team, but it’s a role Smith enjoys, especially in tricky conditions where field placements and tactics are crucial. “I’ll try and pass on as much knowledge as I can. I’ve played a lot of cricket in the subcontinent so I know those conditions really well,” he said.“Hopefully we’ll get them spinning a lot and guys will be able to develop different plans to come up with to counter their spinners.
“As a batter, you can only learn by yourself, in a way,” he said, having copped questions about his technique for years.
