Brisbane: Australian pacer Ryan Harris feels stand-in Test skipper Steve Smith should be handed captaincy in all three formats if Michael Clarke fails to recover in time for next year's ODI cricket World Cup.
Smith scored a hundred and led the team to a four-wicket triumph over India in Brisbane after becoming Australia's 45th Test captain.
"There's no doubt I can see him as captain in all forms.
We will see what happens, there is obviously a big (2015) World Cup coming up," Harris told 'Fox Sports'.
"George Bailey's done it (ODI role) in the absence of Michael Clarke and I think he has done a pretty good job. But with Steve Smith heading that way it might be a good idea to give it to him," he opined.
Speaking about himself, Harris said he has a "90 per cent" chance of making the playing in the third Test starting on December 26.
"It's going well. It was just a slight strain there.
There's no pain there ? it's all looking up. I am pretty keen to get back out there and play ? I am frustrated watching," Harris said.
Australia lead the four-match series 2-0.
