Smith Edges Towards Return For Second Test Vs WI, Unlikely To Field In Slips
World Test Championship: Australian veteran batter Steven Smith remains on track to make a return in the second Test against West Indies in Grenada, after his first full training session since suffering a compound dislocation of a finger. But it's unlikely he'll be able to resume his regular position at slip, at least to fast bowling.
Smith, who missed the series opener, batted for almost an hour in his first training session since rejoining the Test squad last Sunday as he acclimatised to wearing a protective splint on his right little finger after dislocating the digit during the World Test Championship final.
He practiced slip catches to slow bowling at training on Tuesday amid extensive conversations with coach Andrew McDonald and the team physio, also receiving catches and ground ball drills to prepare him to field in front of the wicket in what looms as a rare sight in Test cricket, cricket.com.au reports.
