Steve Smith May Become Captain Again, Selectors Approach CA For The Same; Reports
Amid the sexting scandal, which led to Test skipper Tim Paine stepping down from his post less than three weeks before the start of the Ashes, it is learnt that Australian selectors reportedly made a secret approach to the Cricket Australia (CA) Board in October to bring Steve Smith back as skipper of the Test side.
Smith was the Aussie captain before the 2018 ball-tampering scandal -- also known as the Sanpapergate scandal -- blew in the face of the team and resulted in the skipper, vice-captain David Warner and Cameron Bancroft receiving unprecedented sanctions from Cricket Australia.
