Australia's cricket team is set to welcome back star batsman Steve Smith for the second test against the West Indies in Grenada. Smith is taking over from Josh Inglis, a change confirmed by team captain Pat Cummins on Wednesday.
After recovering from a dislocated finger that had sidelined him during the World Test Championship final, Smith will be resuming his role at number four. He participated in a 30-minute batting session and slips catching drills without any issues, proving his readiness for the match that begins on Thursday.
Despite Josh Inglis' struggles, scoring just five and 12 in the opening test in Barbados where Australia secured a 159-run victory, the squad will include Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Cameron Green, and more alongside an eager Smith.
