    Smith To Lead NSW In Sheffield Shield For First Time In 8 Years

    By IANS News November 07, 2025 • 11:30 AM View: 228
    New South Wales: Veteran batter Steve Smith will lead a star-studded New South Wales side, featuring five members of Australia’s first Ashes Test squad, for the first time in eight years in their Sheffield Shield clash with Victoria at the Sydney Cricket Ground, beginning on Monday.

    Smith has come in for New South Wales' regular captain Jack Edwards to fine tune his tactical nous ahead of the Ashes opener.

    Smith, who will lead Australia in the first Test against England in Pat Cummins' absence, last week played his first game in two months, peeling off 118 against Queensland in a drawn match under Edwards' leadership.
