Langer unsure if Smith wants Australia captaincy back

The Hindu  

Steve Smith’s ban on leading Australia ends in March but the star batsman may not want the Test captaincy back, coach Justin Langer says. “I’ve built a good relationship with Steve over the last 18 months, and it is going to come down to honest conversations,” the coach told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on Saturday. “I’ll be one of the selectors, and I think we’ll just work out what’s best.” Paine, who will be 35 in December, will almost certainly retain the role for the home summer Test series against Pakistan and New Zealand, despite occasional criticism of his batting and captaincy during the Ashes. Unlike Smith, former vice-captain David Warner endured a miserable return from the “sandpapergate” scandal, struggling to make double figures against England.
