Steve Smith will miss Australia’s first test against the West Indies in Barbados later this month and could sit out the entire three-test series with a finger injury, captain Pat Cummins said.

Australia have added fast bowler Sean Abbott to their Test squad following Brendan Doggett's injury. Steve Smith travels with a dislocated finger, casting doubt on his availability for the series opener.

Star batter Steve Smith and his dislocated finger are going with Australia to the Caribbean. Captain Pat Cummins says Smith doesn’t need surgery on the compound dislocation to his right pinkie from the World Test Championship final at Lord's.
