It Feels Like A Backward Step, Says Johnson On Making Smith Captain For SL Test Tour
Sri Lanka Test: Former Australia fast-bowler Mitchell Johnson has expressed reservations over Steve Smith being named captain for the upcoming Test tour of Sri Lanka, saying it’s like a backward step being taken instead of cashing on the opportunity to try a long-term leadership candidate. Smith was named Australia’s captain for the two-match Test tour of Sri Lanka, starting in Galle on January 29, after regular skipper Pat Cummins opted out due to the birth of his second child and ankle soreness.
“As for the decision to bring back Steve Smith as Test captain in Sri Lanka after his one-year suspension and two-year leadership ban over the ball-tampering saga, I can understand the scepticism. While many fans admire his leadership, I’m among those who have reservations about him being resurrected at 35.”
“Opting for a fill-in captain nearing the end of his career seems like a missed opportunity to entrust the role to someone like Travis Head, who could bring fresh energy and perspective. It feels like a backward step, and while my opinion does not change the outcome, it’s frustrating to see choices that don’t seem aligned with long-term team development,” wrote Johnson in his column for ‘The Nightly’ on Thursday.
