Manchester [UK], September 12 (ANI): Australia batsman Steve Smith on Saturday cleared his concussion test and will be available for selection for the upcoming second ODI against England.
Smith was not a part of Australia's team for the first ODI against England as he suffered a blow on his head in the nets on match eve, cricket.com.au reported.
He was then replaced by all-rounder Marcus Stoinis at the number three spot. Last year, during the Ashes, Smith had missed a Test match after being hit on the head by England's Jofra Archer.
"Absolutely, I'm looking forward to seeing that happen. Anyone who bowls 150kms an hour, he loves the challenge so there'll be no backing down from Steve Smith, I know that 100 per cent for sure," cricket.com.au had quoted Mitchell Marsh as saying after the first ODI.
Aaron Finch-led Australia had won the first ODI against England by 19 runs. Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa and Josh Hazelwood came up with standout performances to hand visitors a win in the first ODI.
Marsh and Maxwell had played knocks of 73 and 77 while Hazlewood returned with figures of 3-26 from his ten overs. Zampa had claimed four wickets as well.
