Ex-Australia captain Ian Chappell doubts Steve Smith will be same player after banRYAN PIERSE/GETTY IMAGES Former test captain Ian Chappell says Steve Smith will struggle get back to his pre-suspension form. Ian Chappell doubts Steve Smith can be as good a player as he was before he was suspended and that he can reclaim enough team respect to take back the Australian captaincy. While the Australian Cricketers Association is leading a push to have the suspensions on Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft lifted following the damning Cricket Australia review, former national captain Chappell is opposed to that. "I think he'll come back as a player," Chappell told the Nine Network's Sports Sunday. I think the players still very much respect Steven Smith," Taylor told Sports Sunday.
