Premier Australian batter Steve Smith has revealed that he was nursing an injury for the better part of the Ashes series, having wounded his wrist during the Lord’s Test. Smith had torn a tendon in his left wrist during the second Test at Lord’s after making a match-winning 110 in the first innings.

Smith told ‘Fox Cricket’ –

“I did it at Lord’s. I don’t actually know the moment, it was when we were in the field. It wasn’t until that night I was like, ‘Geez, what have I done here, it’s a bit sore’.”

‘I did it at…’, Steve Smith reveals where he got his wrist injury

Smith added – “I played the next game and then I had a cortisone before Old Trafford. I got back (to Australia) and I was like, ‘Still not quite right. I still can’t do a lot of things properly’.

“I had another scan. There was a small tear in the tendon as well as a couple of other things.”

Smith further added –

“I thought we probably had all the tools in the kit bag to go ever there and win, and we weren’t satisfied with drawing the series again. Obviously we did that last time. We wanted to win and do one better, and we weren’t able to do that.”
