Steve Smith on Australia captaincy: I've certainly thought about it, I would be keen if it comes up

India Today  

Steve Smith was handed a one year ban, with a two-year ban on Australia captaincy, by Cricket Australia back in March 2018 in light of the Sandpapergate debacle. The former Australia skipper’s captaincy ban has also been lifted but the board hasn’t shown any signs of handing over the leadership role back to Smith. "I've certainly had a lot of time to think about it and I guess now I've got to a point where if the opportunity did come up again, I would be keen," Smith told News Corp. "If it was what Cricket Australia wanted and it was what was best for the team at the time, it's certainly something I would be interested in now, that's for sure." While it’s been three years since Smith’s captaincy was handed over to Paine, the Cape Town debacle is something that will always haunt him.
