Waugh Hits Out At Aussie Selectors, Calls Smith's Non-selection 'an Insult' To Veteran Batter
T20 World Cup: Australian cricket legend Mark Waugh has taken aim at the selectors for not selecting batting veteran Steve Smith in the initial squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, calling it "the most baffling non-selection" and an insult to the senior batter.
A couple of days after being stunned by Zimbabwe in the Group B clash, the 2021 champions suffered another upset loss at the hands of co-host SriLanka, who put up a clinical display to progress to the Super Eight stage of the tournament, leaving Australia's fate out of their hands, having surrendered twice in as many games now.
After leaving Smith out of the squad entirely originally, Australia have pulled the trigger on adding Smith to their squad hours before their crunch match with Sri Lanka, but he was ultimately left out of the playing XI.
