Steve Smith copped the blow on his finger during the third innings of the second Test match against the West Indies National Cricket Team at the National Cricket Stadium, St George's, Grenada.
Steve Smith recently injured his little finger while fielding in the slips during the WTC Final against the South Africa National Cricket Team at Lord's.
Smith missed the first Test against the West Indies, but achieved fitness for the second match. He wore a thin splint on his finger while batting and didn't field in the slips.
Although Steve Smith didn't feel any instant pain, he removed his gloves after the next ball and was in significant pain when he looked to flex the finger.

Smith further revealed how he made adjustments to his batting to achieve success on a difficult surface. He said:
At the end of play on Day 3, Australia were at 221/7 with Alex Carey (26*) and Pat Cummins (4*) in the middle, and they are aiming to post a target of around 300 runs for the hosts, said Smith.
“The new ball is going to be pretty crucial for us. Hopefully we can get up to somewhere around 300 and then we’ll see how it goes,” Smith stated.
