Steve Smith set to play in IPL 2021, Aaron Finch on track to recover in time for T20 World Cup

Firstpost  

Melbourne: Star Australian batsman Steve Smith, who had been sidelined due to an elbow injury, is expected to make a return during the IPL, while limited overs team skipper Aaron Finch is on track to recover in time for the T20 World Cup. The IPL, which had been suspended in May due to multiple COVID-19 cases in its bio-bubble, has since been rescheduled to complete the remaining games between 19 September and 15 October in the UAE, finishing just two days before the T20 World Cup which has also been relocated to the region from India. Smith and Finch’s return to the T20 squad ahead of the World Cup will be a big boost for the Australian side, which has lost five successive T20I series while winning just six of the 21 matches in the past year. They lost two back-to-back series against West Indies and Bangladesh, which were intended to provide useful preparation ahead of the World Cup, with a similar 4-1 margin.
