London: Australia's star batsman Steven Smith will return to action today after missing the third Ashes Test because of concussion and laughed off the claim England pace bowler Jofra Archer was his nemesis.

Smith, who has been cleared to play in the tour match with county side Derbyshire, suffered the concussion in the first innings of the drawn second Test at Lord's when he was hit by a 92mph Archer bouncer. However, former Australia captain — who has scored two centuries and 92 in three innings in his first Test series since completing a 12-month ban for his role in a ball-tampering scandal — told cricket.com.au he did not consider Archer to be his bogeyman.
