Australia batsman Steve Smith has laughed off criticism in England about his county cricket warmup for the Ashes after some fans and media took exception to his Sussex signing.

Asked if he was amused by the reaction, Smith told Cricket Australia's website:"A little bit. I've played a lot of cricket in England, it's not like it's foreign territory for me." Australia won the last Ashes 4-0 on home soil, though England paceman Stuart Broad has said that the series was"void" due to the COVID-19 restrictions that were in place at the time, drawing an incredulous reaction in Smith's home nation.
