'Opener' Smith can break Lara's 400 record: Clarke

Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has expressed confidence in Steve Smith's potential to become the world's best Test opener within a year. Clarke believes that Smith's technical prowess, ability to judge deliveries, and excellent hand-eye coordination make him a strong candidate. As selectors prepare to announce the squad for the first Test against West Indies, the focus has shifted from selecting a specialist opener to incorporating all-rounder Cameron Green or potentially allowing Smith to take on the opening role.
