Steve Smith injured during stint in Bangladesh Premier League

Former Australia captain Steve Smith will drop out of the Bangladesh Premier League after just two matches, after picking up an elbow injury.

Smith was captaining Comilla Victorians when he suffered the problem with his elbow.

“Smith has suffered an elbow injury. We are not sure how he picked it up, but the last two days he could not bat in training due to the problem,” Victorians head coach Mohammad Salahuddin told AFP.

“He had an MRI test here but the result was not very clear. He sent the report to Australian physicians who advised him to return home immediately.”
