After serving his ban, Steve Smith will be back for the Indian Premier League as will walk out for the Rajasthan Royals, but according to reports, he will not lead the franchise. As per Mumbai Mirror, the BCCI will follow the regulations set by Cricket Australia, which has barred Smith from any leadership roles for the next 2 years. He led Rajasthan to the knockout stage of the tournament last year but went down to Kolkata Knight Riders. “He’ll have learnt a lot through the episode, treat people as you want to be treated and things will probably work out pretty well. Everyone is happy with redemption so if he shows humility and good grace, scores lots of runs, time will do the rest,” he added.
