Karachi: Steve Smith suffered an elbow injury before leaving for Sri Lanka, which delayed his departure for a training camp in Dubai.
The Australian batsman is still seeking further medical advice. He has been made the acting captain for the series against Sri Lanka in the absence of Pat Cummins.
He suffered an elbow injury while throwing the ball during the Big Bash match. He has suffered from elbow problems in the past as well, while his right arm was operated on in 2019.
On the other hand, Cricket Australia hopes that the experienced batsman will leave for Dubai soon. In his absence, the possibility of Travis Head leading the team in a Test for the first time will be clear.
