Steve Smith will be closely monitored over the coming days after suffering a concussion while trying to save a six late in Australia’s T20I win over Sri Lanka at the SCG.
With Australia leading by 11 runs with three balls remaining, Smith leapt into the night sky to save a Maheesh Theekshana shot which was just heading over the boundary at deep mid-wicket.
The 32-year-old managed to send the ball back across the boundary in mid-air but hit his head on the turf as he landed and was taken away by medical staff.
