Where To Watch West Indies Cricket Team vs Australia Men's Cricket Team: Australian batting maestro Steve Smith returned to the line-up as the Pat Cummins-led side announced their playing XI for the second Test against West Indies, which will be played from July 3 to 8. Skipper Pat Cummins revealed the return of Smith for the clash at the National Cricket Stadium, with Josh Inglis the player to make way for the Australian veteran.

Smith batted without pain while wearing a splint on Tuesday, and Cummins said there was no reason to leave the 36-year-old out of the playing XI.

"He's ready to go, the finger held up well. He was really happy, particularly batting. Fielding, we still potentially need to manage it a little bit, so he might not be in the slips too often - maybe for spin he'll be OK, but (for the) quicks he might need to wait another week," Cummins said of Smith as quoted by ICC.

"So you might see him running around a bit more ... probably some variation of mid-off and fine leg, (but) we'll see if he lasts a few days down at fine leg, I reckon he'll be itching to get up in the circle pretty quick," the right-arm seamer added.

The return of Smith is the only change to the Australian team that defeated the West Indies by 159 runs in the opening Test of the series, while the Caribbean side confirmed they will wait until the toss before locking in their final XI.

The West Indies are deciding whether to include an extra seamer in their line-up, with left-armer Anderson Phillip a chance to play and make his third Test appearance in Grenada in place of spinner and vice-captain Jomel Warrican.
