Steve Smith Paid A Heavy Price For Just Being A Lazy Captain: Ian Healy
Former Australian wicketkeeper-batter Ian Healy has said that making Steve Smith the leader of the side for the Ashes -- beginning in a fortnight's time in Brisbane -- will "add to the circus", given that Tim Paine has already stepped down as the Test captain of the side in the wake of the sexting scandal.
Smith, his deputy David Warner and Cameron Bancroft were banned by Cricket Australia (CA) for different durations, not exceeding one year, over their role in the ball-tampering episode -- also termed Sandpaper-gate scandal -- in the 2018 Test series in South Africa.
