NEW DELHI: Australia batter Steve Smith said that he’s been training hard and trying to get stronger in his preparations for the Ashes Tests. He also revealed that his strength test results have been ‘as good as they’ve ever been.’

Smith hasn't played competitive cricket since The Hundred in the UK, which ended in August. Since coming back from New York last week, he's done three net sessions and will face bowlers for the first time on Tuesday to begin his preparations for the Ashes next month.

However, the 36-year-old cautioned that he was at his peak fitness in anticipation of a busy summer at home.
