Big shock to Australia before the match against Afghanistan: Steve Smith may be out of Afghanistan match
Big shock to Australia before the match against Afghanistan: Steve Smith participation in Australia’s next ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Afghanistan is uncertain. He revealed that he is suffering from vertigo (persistent dizziness). Smith stated during a press conference before the match, “I’ve been feeling a bit dizzy in recent days, so it’s a bit concerning. I hope to be able to participate in the practice session and recover, but this is not an ideal situation.”
When asked if he would be available to play the match, Smith mentioned that a decision would be made after he participates in the practice session. Australia is grappling with the unavailability of Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh. They are currently in third place in the World Cup points table. A win against Afghanistan would boost their chances of reaching the semi-finals.
Regarding the availability of Maxwell and Marsh, Smith disclosed that Marsh has returned to the team and will take part in the practice session. As for Maxwell, he will also participate in the practice. Smith said, “Marsh is back, and he will take part in the practice session.
