AFP, Sydney :
Steve Smith was on Monday ruled out of the rest of Australia’s Twenty20 series against Sri Lanka with concussion after landing heavily as he made a spectacular attempt to take a catch.
The star batsman threw himself into the air on the boundary to try to prevent a six from Maheesh Theekshana in a dramatic final over in the second game of the five-match series in Sydney on Sunday.
He remained on the ground as medical attention was sought before groggily getting back on his feet, with his efforts to no avail as the six was given and the match went to a rare super over finish after ending in a tie.
Australia prevailed to take a 2-0 series lead ahead of the third match in Canberra today.
