Steve Smith Comes Up With A Secret Regarding His Shocking Injury

Cricket is as much about resilience as it is skill. Australian vice-captain Steve Smith’s recent revelation confirms this. In a surprising disclosure, Smith unveiled a secret regarding his unexpected injury. He had been playing with a hurt wrist during the latter half of the Ashes campaign in England. The injury occurred during the second Test at Lord’s.

Just a week ago, the cricket world received news about Smith’s absence. A torn tendon in his left wrist sidelined him from the white-ball tour of South Africa. Consequently, Ashton Turner of Western Australia stepped into the T20 squad. Meanwhile, Marnus Labuschagne celebrated an ODI return.

Smith’s comeback is eagerly awaited. Targeted for late September, he’s projected to rejoin ahead of the ODI series in India. Meanwhile, he’s prescribed a splint for his wrist in the coming weeks. During an interview with Fox Cricket, Smith shared insights into his injury. It was during the Lord’s Test against England that he first felt the injury. A testament to his resilience, Smith bagged the player of the match award, scoring an impressive 110 in the first innings.

He recalled, “I did it at Lord’s. The exact moment still eludes me. It transpired while fielding.” The realization hit later. Smith remembered, “That night I felt the pain. It prompted thoughts, ‘What’s wrong? It’s sore.’” Yet, he continued to play. In fact, he opted for a cortisone injection just before the fourth Test at Old Trafford.

Reflecting on his return to Australia, he shared, “Still something felt off. Some tasks seemed harder than usual.” A subsequent scan highlighted the severity. Besides the small tendon tear, there were other complications. This insight sheds light on Smith’s dedication. Even with his injury, he emerged as the second-highest run-scorer for Australia in the Ashes. He accumulated 373 runs with an average of 37.30. Moreover, he showcased twin fifties during the series finale at The Oval.
