Smith will make a comeback after missing the first Test because of an injury.
For the second Test of the current series against the West Indies, Steve Smith is expected to make a comeback to Australia's starting lineup.
Australia may bench Josh Inglish, who did not perform well in the first Test, to create room for him.
Smith's finger injury from the World Test Championship Final earlier this month kept him out of the opening Test in Barbados.
The experienced batter joined the team in Grenada with the sutures taken out and his mobility improving, and he is anticipated to participate in full practice on Tuesday.
According to ICC, Smith stated, "It is not that horrible." "I can move around a lot now, and hitting the ball feels great. Fielding will be the only change; I will probably be at mid-on or fine leg instead of slip.
Despite their 159-run victory in the first Test, Australia's top order appeared unsteady. Inglis only managed five and twelve runs in the two innings when filling in at number four.
Inglis is most likely to make room now that Smith is back in the middle order.
Australia will start the second Test in Grenada on Thursday in an attempt to complete the three-match series.
