The 35-year-old veteran Smith (above) moved up to open alongside Usman Khawaja after David Warner's retirement in January.

But after an encouraging start he struggled and will revert to the middle order, likely his preferred number four slot, in the five Tests against India starting in Perth on 22 November.

“Pat (Cummins), Andrew (Mc Donald) and Steve Smith had been having ongoing conversations, separate to the untimely injury to Cameron,” chief selector George Bailey said.
