Australia are facing a significant injury scare just days before their pivotal second Test against India, set to begin on December 6, 2024. The concern centres around star batter Steve Smith, who suffered a blow to his right hand during a net session in Adelaide on Tuesday. This incident has compounded the team’s existing injury woes, particularly following the announcement that pacer Josh Hazlewood will miss the match due to a side strain.
A frightening moment in the nets for Steve Smith
During the practice session, Smith was taking throwdowns from teammate Marnus Labuschagne when a ball unexpectedly bounced and struck his fingers. According to reports, Smith immediately left the nets after receiving attention from the team’s physio, raising alarms about the severity of his injury. Although he returned briefly to continue batting, uncertainty looms over whether he will be fit for the upcoming Test match against India, where Australia aim to bounce back from their disappointing performance in the first Test.
