Cricket superstar Steve Smith has taken on the role of Test captain for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka, where he plans to mentor emerging talent like Sam Konstas. Smith expressed his excitement about guiding the next generation of Australian cricketers and helping them succeed in all conditions. Despite a recent sledge from Virat Kohli regarding the sandpaper scandal, Smith remains focused on his leadership role and the development of young players.

He emphasized the importance of longevity and consistency in the game, highlighting his desire to join the elite group of players who have achieved this feat.
