Steve Smith was born on 2nd June 1989. He is an Australian international cricketer who was initially selected as a right-arm leg spinner. However, he later started playing as a batsman. He took over the captaincy from Michael Clarke in late 2015, after which he started batting at either number 4 or 3.
However, he is considered one of the best batsmen in world cricket. But he was widely criticised for his involvement in the 2018 Australian ball-tampering scandal and due to that, he was sacked from the captaincy and was replaced by Tim Paine as well. And, after the investigation by Cricket Australia, Smith was banned from all international and domestic cricket in Australia for one year starting from 29 March 2018, and from consideration for any leadership role for a year more. However, in November 2021, Smith was appointed vice-captain as well.
