It’s Been a Long Time: Steve Smith Posts Picture of Him Enjoying Ice Bath

While Australia are yet to resume international cricket after the game was suspended in March due to coronavirus, swashbuckling batsman Steve Smith was recently seen enjoying an ice bath after a long time during this forced break.

On Monday, the 31-year-old took to his official Instagram account and posted a picture of him taking a dip in an ice tub.

Along with the picture, Smith revealed that Australian celebrity trainer Luke Zocchi had convinced him that ice baths are not that bad.

“It’s been a long time between ice baths but this week somehow @zocobodypro has convinced me they aren’t so bad,” Smith wrote along with a picture of him in the tub and Zocci standing outside.

The first ODI between Australia and New Zealand on March 13 was the country’s last international match before cricket was distrupted due to the novel virus.

Australia are likely to tour England for three-match ODI series and as many T20Is in September.

Smith, who is currently ranked the No.1 batsman in the world at the moment in the Test cricket, was all set to lead Rajasthan Royals in the 2020 IPL which was slated to take place from March 29 to May 24. However, the tournament was  postponed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in April indefinitely in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.
