Australian cricket legend Steve Smith (Steve Smith) He is continuously sharing his views on the decision to promote Ko as Australia’s Test opener. Now former Australian captain Kim Hughes gave a very insulting statement on this decision of Cricket Australia (CA) and said that when he heard this news, he ‘almost vomited’.

Citing Steve Smith’s recent record, Kim Hughes said that Cameron Bancroft could have been a better replacement for David Warner in Australia’s Test team. Let us tell you, David Warner has recently retired from Test and ODI cricket, and the host team is ready to play senior batsman Steve Smith as an opener for the upcoming Test series against West Indies.

I vomited at the name Steve Smith: Kim Hughes

Kim Hughes believes that Cricket Australia (CA) is sending a ‘wrong message’ to the people and players by making Steve Smith the opening batsman of the Test team. Let us tell you, Smith will open for Australia in the two-match Test series against West Indies starting from January 17.

“I almost vomited when I heard Steve Smith was made the opener,” Kim Hughes was quoted as saying by WA Sports. There is no doubt in my mind that if Cameron Bancroft had played for New South Wales, he would have been in the Test team. He is in great form.”

Additionally, Kim Hughes said on News10 Australia: “Touch it, do this, do that… When I’m given out, I never want to go out, Steve Smith is that kind of player. He is like a petulant child. Smith is struggling at the moment. He has been a complete superstar, but he is not an opening batsman. He needs to stay at No. 4, get his mojo back, if you like, without any drama.

‘This will just tear everyone apart’

I think the second and very important thing is that you have to reward the people who are performing well, and our Sheffield Shield competition – yes it’s not as strong as it used to be, when it involved our Test players playing. Used to be – but this is still our best first-class tournament, where you can see who is playing well, and give them a chance.

I only think of making Bancroft the opener. This decision of CA also sends a message to the Shield players that if you perform, you will be selected. You can do that too. Go and take the chance. This will just cause everyone to fall apart.”
