Australia batsman Steve Smith will return for the second test against West Indies in Grenada, replacing Josh Inglis, captain Pat Cummins confirmed on Wednesday.

Skipper Pat Cummins revealed the return of Smith for the clash at the National Cricket Stadium, with Josh Inglis the player to make way for the Australian veteran.

Steve Smith missed his MLC commitment for a couple of games with the Washington Freedom and the first Test against the West Indies due to the finger injury he sustained during the WTC Final against South Africa but had started to train in New York last week.
