My main goal is to get fit for the Ashes: Steve Smith

The World No. 2 Test batter has stated that attaining match fitness in time for the Ashes this summer was his main objective.

Smith added that if such a situation arises, he would skip the T20 World Cup in October and prioritize being fit for the Ashes later this year.

"There’s still a bit of time between now and [the T20 World Cup], and I’m tracking okay at the moment – it’s slow, but I’m going okay. I’d love to be part of the World Cup, for sure, but from my point of view, Test cricket, that’s my main goal – to be right for the Ashes and try to emulate what I’ve done in the last few Ashes series I’ve been involved in."
