Cheteshwar Pujara will get a chance to sneak peek into Australia's Steve Smith's preparations ahead of the high-profile World Test Championship final starting June 7 as the former Australian skipper gears up to play three English county games for Sussex this month. The WTC final between India and Australia will be held at the Oval from June 7-11.

For the record, Pujara is leading Sussex in the red ball tournament and the skipper at No. 3 followed by Smith at No. 4 could be one of the most sought-after combinations in Division Two of the English County Championship. The three matches that Smith is expected to play for Sussex will be away games against Worcestershire (May 4-7), Leicestershire (May 11-14), and a home match against Glamorgan (May 18-122), as part of his preparations for the WTC final and the Ashes series against England.
