Ban made Steve Smith unsure of his cricketing career

By Saurabh Sharma August 02, 2019 • 11:54 AM View: 1205

Birmingham, Aug 2: After single-handedly dragging Australia out of a hole by scoring a magnificent hundred on the opening day of the first Ashes Test, Steve Smith revealed that there were times during his one-year ban when he considered walking away from the game completely.

After Australia were reduced to 122/8 before Tea with Smith at the crease waging a lone battle on Thursday, the former captain, who returned to action recently after serving a one year ban due to his involvement in the ball tampering scandal in South Africa, struck 144 off 219 balls to help his team post 284 in their first innings.
