Steve Smith Manchester/UNI: Star Australia batsman Steve Smith is likely to play second ODI against England on Sunday after passing a second concussion test, Cricket Australia revealed on Saturday.
Smith had missed the first ODI on Friday after being struck on his head during a practice session. Australia are 1-0 in the three-match series after winning the opener by 19 runs.
Smith was cleared after the first concussion assessment on Friday and the move to rest him was a precautionary measure, adding the star right-hander passed a second concussion test on Saturday.
However, the batter is set to return for the second ODI.
