India are currently leading 2-1 with a Test match left in Ahmedabad. While pitches in Nagpur and New Delhi were rated "average" by the ICC, the pitch for the Indore Test was rated "poor" by match referee Chris Broad.
The 56-year-old hoped the decision to cancel the fifth and final Test between England and India in Manchester was not made to prioritise the second leg of the Indian Premier League.
Smith, who was sacked as skipper and suspended for a year for his role in the plot, has recently expressed his desire to lead Australia again.
Former Australia captain Mark Taylor has said that the game will favour the batsmen more than the bowlers with ban on the usage of saliva.
T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held from October 19 to November 15 in Australia, but is under a cloud of uncertainty due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Taylor said if postponed IPL is held, the travel will be a player's individual responsibility and not his national Board's.
It was only last week that Cricket Australia had furloughed 80 per cent of their staff until end of the financial year, implying that they will be on just 20 per cent of the staff members until June 30.
"While he generally captains the side well, the way he behaves at times does not do himself or his team any good," Taylor said on Kohli.
Du Plessis says he's happy to take advantage of a depleted Australian lineup with some of their best players on the sidelines.
Taylor was recommended as Peever's successor by former world cricket boss Malcolm Speed but chose instead to step aside.
Insisting that Smith was found guilty of negligence and that he was not a "cheat," Taylor said that he wanted to see the latter leading the national side yet again.
