Think We've Made The Right Decision To Not Play A Tour Match: Steve Smith Ahead Of India Tour

By IANS News January 31, 2023 • 13:37 PM View: 532

Despite some criticism of Australia not playing a tour match ahead of their upcoming four-match Test series against India, premier batter Steve Smith thinks it is the right decision to not play a tour match citing the "irrelevant" pitches that didn't spin in those games when they were in the country on previous occasion.

Australia have adopted a no tour match policy since their tour of Pakistan last year, and is being continued for their all-important Test tour to India, played for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
