Smith hasn't played competitive cricket since The Hundred in the UK, which ended in August.

Cricket's return to the Olympics had been a long time coming.

Smith has been sidelined since dislocating his right little finger during the World Test Championship final on June 13.

Smith was part of Australia's ODI World Cup-winning squad in 2015 and 2023, and he took over the captaincy of the 50-over side after the retirement of Michael Clarke.

New Delhi: Steve Smith, Australia’s captain for the Test tour of Sri Lanka, is under an elbow injury cloud but is expected to join the pre-tour camp in Dubai later this week, said Cricket Australia (CA) on Sunday. CA added that left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann is recovering after a surgery on his fractured thumb suffered.

With this feat, he equaled Ben McDermott’s record for the most centuries in the competition.

With designated skipper Pat Cummins on paternity leave, Smith was assigned the captaincy role for the two-match Test tour of the sub-continent.
