Steve Smith will be closely monitored over the coming days after suffering a concussion while trying to save a six late in Australia’s T20I win over Sri Lanka at the SCG.
Cricket Australia later said in a statement that Smith has a concussion and will now miss the remainder of the series.
“He will be subject to low level protocols for the next few days and full recovery in 6-7 days,” the statement read.
“He will miss the remainder of the series. No replacement in the squad is planned at this stage.”
Hope Steve Smith is OK after this one. Superhuman effort cruely denied by a step on the rope. Concern obviously there for concussion, suffered a concussion with delayed symptoms in 2019 Ashes series #AUSvSL pic.twitter.com/lQxYE6Y2ly
