Australia are fine with Steve Smith taking a series-by-series approach to his Test future as the superstar batter rounds out the summer in a "sweet spot" of form.
As stand-in captain, Smith was named player of the series for guiding Australia to a 2-0 whitewash of Sri Lanka, their first series win in the island nation since 2011.
Smith made two centuries in as many innings to reiterate his status as Australia's master of Asian conditions, finishing the series with 272 runs at an average of 136.
