The Australian team has to tour Sri Lanka for two test matches. A few days before the series starts from January 29, the Kangaroo team has suffered a big setback. Actually, Steve Smith, who captained the team on this tour, has become a victim of elbow injury. He made a throw while fielding while playing for Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League. Only after that Smith got injured. He has been suffering from elbow problems for a long time. This is his old injury, which has resurfaced. On the other hand, the injury of regular captain Pat Cummins is also going to disappoint Australia.

Smith did not fly

The Australian team is going to hold a five-day training camp in Dubai before Sri Lanka. For this, apart from Smith, the team has flown in. That means only 15 players have left for Dubai right now. Smith will go to a specialist for his treatment and recovery. He will leave Australia only after his advice. Cricket Australia has said in its statement that he can join the team by the end of this week.

Pat Cummins is going to be a father. Apart from this, he is also suffering from ankle injury. Therefore Smith was given the captaincy against Sri Lanka. If his injury does not heal in time, then in his place Travis Head may be seen taking charge of the team for the first time. At present he has been made the vice captain of the Kangaroo team.
