NEW DELHI: After a brief tenure as Australia's opening batsman in Test cricket, Steven Smith will return to his position in the middle order for the forthcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy series against India, according to confirmation from National Selector George Bailey.
Smith received a promotion to the position of opener when David Warner decided to retire. But with just 171 runs at a mark of 28.50, the 35-year-old endured a dismal spell that had many wonder if he might be better suited as an opener.
