Winning series in India and England are Steve Smith's goals

The Hindu  

Beating arch-rivals England in its own backyard and achieving Test success in India are the “two big mountains” which Australian batting mainstay Steve Smith wants to climb before calling time on his career. But it’s certainly something to strive for, that’s for sure.” Talking about last year’s Ashes, Smith said: “To know that we’d got the Ashes back was pretty special. “It just doesn’t feel the same you get to the end of the series and we’re there holding up the Ashes but we’d just lost the last Test match, and we actually hadn’t won anything. “It was cool to get them back, but I was actually more disappointed that we hadn’t won them.” Australia will hope to retain the Ashes at home in 2021-22 before getting a chance to beat England away with the tour scheduled in 2023.
