Would Support Steve Smith If He Becomes Australian Captain Again: Tim Paine

By IANS News May 14, 2021 • 08:51 AM View: 1732

Australia Test captain Tim Paine said that he would support Steve Smith if he becomes the team's captain again. Speculation has been rife about Smith returning to the role that he was axed from in the wake of the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, especially after Australia lost to India 2-1 at home earlier this year under Paine's captaincy.

"I think so. Obviously, I don't make that decision but the time I played with Steve as captain he was excellent. Certainly tactically he is as good as you get," Paine said while speaking at a function for the Chappell Foundation at the SCG on Wednesday night.
