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.

Australia face a setback as Steve Smith suffers a finger dislocation during the World Test Championship final against South Africa, ruling him out of the match and jeopardizing his participation in the upcoming West Indies Test series.

The defending champions had set South Africa an imposing target of 282 as they looked to secure back-to-back Test titles, and looked to be firmly on top as Temba Bavuma edged Mitchell Starc soon after the dismissal of Wiaan Mulder.
