Darren Lehmann to substitute for Greame Smith

Former Australian middle order batsman Darren Lehmann, at the behest of fellow Australian and Rajasthan Royals skipper Shane Warne will fill in for Graeme Smith for a brief spell.

The batsman, who retired from first-class cricket last November, was reportedly surprised when he got a call from Warne asking him to fill in till Smith is available to play in IPL after finishing his domestic commitments.

"It's all happened so quickly," he said. "They needed someone as cover for Graeme Smith so I didn't hesitate to put my hand up. It will be good playing in the same side as Warnie."
