MELBOURNE: (Feb 4) Snubbed from Australia’s T20 World Cup squad despite strong form, veteran batter Steve Smith has signed with new Pakistan Super League franchise Sialkot Stallionz in a bid to force his way back into the national short-format side.
Despite starring in the Ashes and enjoying an excellent Big Bash League season with the Sydney Sixers, Smith was ignored for the T20 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka from February 7.
Smith, who has expressed his desire to feature at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics — which will see cricket return in the T20 format — is the first player signed by Stallionz, according to a report in cricket.com.au.
