Steven Smith gets engaged to Dani Willis in New York

Australian cricket captain Steven Smith got engaged to his partner of five years, Dani Willis.

He proposed to the law student during a New York holiday yesterday.

The 28-year-old cricketer posted this picture of the couple standing on New York's Top of the Rock observation deck on his Instagram account this morning.

He captioned the picture: "Today I got down on one knee and @dani_willis said YES #engaged."

Over the past couple of days, the couple have shared their travel pictures from London and Monte Carlo before they flew to the US last week.
