"Steve Smith Should...": Adam Gilchrist Suggests Big Change In Australia Batting Order

Legendary Australia cricketer Adam Gilchrist said stand-in captain Steve Smith should be slotted in as an opener in the ODI team for the upcoming Champions Trophy, citing it as a way of maximising the number of deliveries he can face in the side's matches in Pakistan. In Australia's heavy 2-0 ODI series loss in Sri Lanka, Smith made 12 and 29 as a middle-order batter.

Steve Smith will captain the team after standing in for Cummins during their two-Test thrashing of Sri Lanka this month.
