Australia cricketer Steve Smith has been roped in as a standby for the captaincy position, if regular Test skipper Pat Cummins remains unavailable for the remainder of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023, against India. After Australia's second successive loss to India in the four-match Test series, Pat Cummins flew back to Australia due to family-related health issues.
