Steve Smith will undergo further concussion tests after failing to take the field in Australia's fourth innings against South Africa in Durban. He was hit by an Anrich Nortje bouncer early in his second innings and received initial clearance to bat on. Smith has a history of concussion issues and could miss the second Test in Gqeberha starting October 18 if diagnosed.

CricHubb Take

Smith's absence would force Australia to reconsider their middle-order stability with Cameron Green and Josh Inglis already sidelined, exposing a narrow depth margin.
