Steve Smith reveals why Australia headed to Dubai early that could prove Champions Trophy masterstroke

Steve Smith reveals why Australia headed to Dubai early that could prove Champions Trophy masterstroke

Dubai, Mar 4 (UNI) To escape the “strict” security bubble in Pakistan, Australian captain Steve Smith decided to head to Dubai early that has allowed the players to loosen up and “chill” ahead of the Champions Trophy semi-final clash with India.
The Australians moved to Dubai across the weekend without knowing who their semi-final opponent would be, risking another flight back to Pakistan amidst an already hectic schedule, according to a News.com.au report.
But captain Smith said the need for some freedom helped steer them to the location where their opponents have played and trained for the entire tournament, an advantage that has sparked significant criticism.
