Australia's Steve Smith Plots Return To T20I Squad And LA 2028 Via England ODI Series
Los Angeles Olympics: Australia's senior batter and red-ball expert Steve Smith has not given up on making it back to the T20 side and is hoping to use upcoming international tournaments to play in the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 where the sport is expected to return to the Games. Smith is looking forward to returning to international cricket against England next month and is keen to make it to the T20 side and play a part in the country's push for an Olympic medal in 2028.
Smith suffered a setback to his long-term plans when he was overlooked for this year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup, but the 35-year-old has since made a strong impact in the shortest format with some excellent performances in franchise cricket in the recently completed Major League Cricket tournament in the USA.
The right-handed batter will continue to play in Australia's domestic T20 competition - the Big Bash - and has earmarked a return to the Indian Premier League in the future to continue his affiliation with franchise cricket around the world.
