    "editor1": "<p><strong>Sydney, Sep 12:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Former Australia skipper Steve Smith has made an impressive comeback in international cricket as he top-scored in the ongoing Ashes 2019 with 671 runs in five innings after his comeback to the Test cricket following a 12-month ban for ball tampering in South Africa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former Australia captain Mark Taylor, who was part of the Cricket Australia board that handed Steve Smith a one-year ban and a further year&#39;s suspension from any leadership role, seems very satisfied with Smith&#39;s stunning form and feels he will lead the team once again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I believe Smith will captain Australia again. I was on the Cricket Australia board that determined the penalties for Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft over the events of Cape Town and have no doubt he will be a better leader next time around because of the very harsh lessons he learnt,&quot; Taylor said in a column for the Sydney Morning Herald.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;To me it&#39;s not a matter of whether he (Smith) becomes captain again on April 1. It doesn&#39;t have to happen that quickly,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;But I&#39;d like to think when (Tim) Paine is finished as Test captain -- whether that&#39;s in six months&#39; time or two or three years -- he would be a candidate to lead the side again.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, another Aussie former captain, Ian Chappell, has also backed Smith to assume the role.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
