Steve Smith shockingly states His two Teammates hated him as Opener for Short assignments

Australia’s star batter Steve Smith is going to make a return in his original batting position of no.4 in Test cricket for he upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.

Steve stepped own as the opener after Cameron Green was ordered to rest due to an injury in his back. Before the five-Test series at home against India, Smith came out and stated that Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne used to hate him for his short time as the opener.

“Conversations we had after the New Zealand series, particularly with Marnus and Uzzie, they hated me up top, to be honest. They wanted me batting behind them. So that was a big part of it. And then obviously, I’ve got a decent record at four,” Smith said as quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.

“It was good fun trying something new, batting up top. I still feel like I could do a job there for sure. It was a pretty small sample size. But I’ve done pretty well at four for a number of years now, and I feel like it’s probably where I can have my best input for this team at the moment.” he further added.
