Dwayne Smith, the West Indies allrounder, will miss the Perth Scorchers' opening game of the Big Bash League 2013-14 on Sunday. Smith, one of the Scorchers' two overseas signings, has not travelled to Australia due to personal reasons, and his availability for the remainder of the season is in doubt.
"Dwayne Smith will miss this weekend's opening round of BBL … due to personal reasons which have prevented him from travelling to Australia," the Scorchers said. "Details regarding his availability for subsequent matches will be advised in due course. The Scorchers and Smith's management are working through this situation and advise that it is inappropriate to make any further comment at this time."
