Australia star batter Steve Smith is eyeing to represent the country at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics which is likely to be played in the T20 format.
Smith was left out of Australia’s T20 World Cup squad in June this year but the experienced batter remains committed to his T20I future. He has signed a new three-year deal with the Big Bash League (BBL) franchise Sydney Sixers that will see him playing the tournament until at least 2026-27. However, Smith has to regain his spot in the national side to fulfil his dream of playing in the Olympics.
