'Happy To Go Up The Top', Says Smith On Opening Batting In Tests After Warner’s Retirement
Sydney Cricket Ground: Australia’s premier batter Steven Smith has confirmed that he will be interested in opening the batting in Tests after David Warner retires from the format at the end of the ongoing Test against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Smith is the latest name to enter the discussion in opening the batting for Australia in Tests, with Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Cameron Bancroft and Matt Renshaw being potential candidates to take Warner’s role.
"I'm actually happy to go up the top. I'm pretty keen if that's what they want to do. I'm sure the selectors and Ron (head coach Andrew McDonald) and Patty [captain Pat Cummins) will have a chat after this game but yeah, I'm certainly interested for sure," said Smith to ABC Grandstand at the end of day three’s play.
