Dubai, Jan 18 (CRICKETNMORE): After being crowned the International Cricket Council's Test Player of the Year for a second time, Australian captain Steve Smith on Thursday said the Ashes triumph over England was the most important chapter of his tenure.

Smith recently guided the Kangaroos to regain the Ashes urn after thrashing Joe Root's men 4-0 in the five-match rubber. During the series, the 28-year-old amassed 687 runs at a scarcely believable average of 137.40.
