Australia's legendary cricketer Steve Smith is playing in the Big Bash League (BBL) after the recently concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy against India. He is a part of the Sydney Sixers team in BBL. Recently he scored a brilliant century in a match. After this, Smith has expressed his desire to play in the Olympics to be held in Los Angeles in 2028. He also expressed hope of returning to Australia's T-20 team and talked about prolonging his career in this format.
Steve Smith did wonders by scoring a century in Australia's T-20 league BBL. Now he has jointly scored the highest number of centuries (three) in this league. After this Smith said, 'I want to play Olympics. I think it will be good. We will see how far I can go in longer format cricket (Test). But I think I will play shorter format cricket (T-20) for some time. There are a lot of good young players who are hitting big shots.
Steve Smith has impressed a lot with his play in Test and ODI. However, Smith has been underestimated in T-20 cricket. But in the meantime, after scoring 121 runs in 64 balls in BBL, he has expressed his desire to play Olympics. Let us tell you that Smith has not been able to make a place in Australia's T-20 team for a long time. So far, he has played only four T20 matches for Australia in the last two years. Not only this, Smith was also not bought in the IPL 2025 auction.
Steve Smith will be seen leading Australia on Sri Lanka tour after BBL. A two-Test series will be played between Australia and Sri Lanka from January 29. Smith will lead the Kangaroo team in the absence of regular captain Pat Cummins. During this time, Smith's eyes will be fixed on creating history. He will become the 15th batsman in the world to score 10 thousand test runs after scoring the first run in the series.
