Ian Healy: Australian cricket great Ian Healy believes that veteran batter Steve Smith can play international cricket until the age of 40 after watching his batting against Sri Lanka in Galle.

Smith reached 10,000 Test runs milestone in the first innings at Galle where he also reached his 35th century in the format with a score of 141.

“I was so pleased, his batting his back. I thought he was clear-headed, and he was timing the ball beautifully, even in his defence. I'm saying he could play to 40 now. He's got heaps ahead of him," Healy told SENQ.
