Sydney Cricket Ground: Former Australian cricketer and current Victoria coach Chris Rogers has endorsed Peter Handscomb as the best candidate to take over the No. 4 batting position in Tests once veteran Steve Smith retires.

Speaking to Fox Cricket’s Domesticated, Rogers believes that when Smith eventually retires, the national selectors will not need to look any further than Handscomb for a strong replacement.

”If he got the chance again, I think he’d be much better prepared,” Rogers said of Handscomb. “If Smith was to retire and there was that opportunity needed for a stable Test No. 4, I think that could definitely be Pete. Hopefully he keeps scoring runs for us and things play out and he gets another opportunity to get Test level," he added.
