Steven Peter Devereux Smith (born 2 June 1989) is an Australian international cricketer and former captain of the Australian national team in all three formats of the game. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Test batsmen since Don Bradman.[4] Smith was a member of the Australian teams that won the 2015 and 2023 Cricket World Cup, the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup, and the 2023 ICC World Test Championship final.
Although he was initially selected for Australia as a leg-spinning all-rounder in 2010, Smith was always earmarked as a batting prospect following successful batting campaigns in domestic cricket early in his career.[5] Smith now plays primarily as a batter who bowls occasionally. After playing five Test matches from 2010 to 2011 as a bowling all-rounder, he was recalled to the Australian Test team in 2013 as a batter and took over the captaincy from Michael Clarke in late 2015, after which he predominantly batted at number 3 or 4 across formats.
Awards he has won include the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy (ICC Cricketer of the Year) in 2015; ICC Test Player of the Year in 2015 and 2017; ICC Men's Test Player of the Decade for 2011–2020; the Allan Border Medal for the best player in Australian Cricket in 2015, 2018, 2021 and 2023; Australian Test Player of the Year in 2015 and 2018, and Australian One Day International Player of the Year in 2015 and 2021. He was named by Wisden as one of their Cricketers of the Year in the 2016 Wisden Almanack.
In 2014, New Zealand batsman Martin Crowe described Smith as one of the young Fab Four of Test cricket along with Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli.[6] On 30 December 2017, he reached a Test batting rating of 947, the second-highest of all time, only behind Don Bradman's 961.
In March 2018, Smith as captain was widely criticised for the ball tampering in the third Test against South Africa that Cameron Bancroft performed and David Warner planned, during which he stood down from the team captaincy and was replaced by Tim Paine. Following an 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 an additional year.
In November 2021, he made his Australian captaincy return in the 2021–22 Ashes series when Pat Cummins was unavailable. He has captained in 4 Tests (including Australia's only Test victory in India since 2017 when he was captain) and 7 ODIs, winning the 2022-23 ODI series vs India and the 2023-24 series vs West Indies as captain since his return. Since 2021, he has been Australia's vice-captain in Tests. He was ODI official vice-captain from 2021 to 2023 while also standing in as ODI captain in 2024, despite no longer being official ODI vice-captain.
In January 2024, Smith moved from No.4 to opening the batting for the first time in Test Cricket, having had success previously opening the batting in the IPL, BBL and for Australia in T20Is and ODI warm up matches.
