Langer confirmed Smith was considered for the captaincy in the SCG T20 – a move former Test captain Mark Taylor had argued for.<\/a><\/p>\n "Yeah of course," Langer said on Fox Sports.<\/p>\n "We talked about a number.<\/p>\n "The exciting thing is that we've got so many options.<\/p>\n "We're talking about building a leadership culture and leaders within the group.<\/p>\n "Matty Wade was the vice captain, Steve Smith's done a brilliant job in the past.<\/p>\n "There's a lot of process, probably, to go through before he becomes captain again.<\/p>\n "We'll go through that, we know what a great player he is, we've seen that his whole career.<\/p>\n "When the English crowd gave him a standing ovation at The Oval last year – talk about earning respect and earning back respect.<\/p>\n "It was one of the fondest moments of my coaching career.<\/p>\n "He's doing all the right things to show leadership without the title at the moment."<\/p>\n The other point of interest from Langer's pre-game interview was his take on the Ravi Jadeja concussion drama.<\/p>\n Jadeja was replaced by 12th man Yuzvendra Chahal in India's T20 win at Manuka Oval, with Chahal going on to win man of the match honours.<\/a><\/p>\n Langer was shown in a heated discussion with match referee and former teammate David Boon, who green lighted the concussion replacement.<\/p>\n "It was just a strange situation," Langer said.<\/p>\n "We saw Ravi Jadeja go down with a hamstring, then got a hit and then all of a sudden we found out he was out for concussion.<\/p>\n "Boonie and I had a really good conversation about his golf handicap and what footy team he plays for.<\/p>\n "So a bit of fun there.<\/p>\n But as a general rule the concussion protocols are strict, we adhere to them closely and they're very important in our game."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Smith](\"https:\/\/vms-network-images-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/2020\/12\/330755\/pickerImage.jpg\")
