Nothing new or foreign to me: Steven Smith on opener role in Tests

The Hindu  

Gearing up to open batting for Australia in Tests, Steve Smith on January 13 asserted that it was not a new role for him since he has the experience batting at No. With Smith set to open alongside Usman Khawaja, he said that he had been waiting for a long time to bat up the order, especially since Marnus Labuschagne has been batting at No. “Since Marnus has been back playing at No.3, I’ve been waiting to bat for quite a long period of time. I enjoy getting in there and getting amongst it, and I’m looking forward to that challenge.” Smith opened for Sydney Sixers against Sydney Thunders during their recent Big Bash League clash but failed to produce any fireworks, getting dismissed for a golden duck.
