Aussie test captain Steve Smith has spoken publicly for the first time since two players were snapped smoking cigarettes at a team party to celebrate their recent Ashes series win.
“It’s not ideal,” Steve said.
“But boys were just there trying to have a good time. Trying to celebrate what’s been a great couple of months and that’s part of playing cricket for your country and winning big series.
“You need to celebrate your success and the boys had a really good time and those kind of things coming out aren’t ideal but you can’t do much about it.”
