Steve Smith will captain Australia on the final day of the Test Match, after four years in command

In the test match between Australia and the West Indies, the Australia team has suffered a major setback as captain. Team captain Pat Cummins suffered a strained muscle. After this, he did not appear in the field on the fourth day. Cummins will not be able to play even on the last day of the game. Because of this, Australia have made Steve Smith the team captain for the final day. Steve Smith will return to take charge of Australia after four years.

In 2018, Smith was accused of tampering with the ball while playing against South Africa. At the time, Smith was the captain of Australia. After this incident, he had to lose the captaincy and was also banned for one year. He returned in March 2019 after completing a one-year ban. After his return, he played many brilliant innings for the team. But he didn’t get a chance to captain. Now, after four years, he once again has the responsibility of assuming command of the team.

Four matchdays have been completed. West Indies, playing their second innings, need 306 runs to win. The West Indies have scored 192 runs with the loss of 3 wickets before the end of the fourth day.
