Australian cricket icon Steve Smith has addressed questions abou??t his potential retirement, affirming that he remains focused on enjoying the game and hasn’t set a definite date for hang??ing up his boots.

Despite missing out on Australia‘s squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Smith has been making waves internationally, notably captaining Washington Freedom to victory in the Major League Cricket 2024 (MLC).

Steve Smith dismisses retirement speculation

During a recent media interaction, Smith downplayed any immediate thoughts of retirement, emphasizing his passion for the game and expressing his exciteme?nt about upcoming ?opportunities.

“I don’t have any plans; I’m just enjoying playing at the moment. I’m pretty relaxed and I’m looking forward to this summer,” Smith told reporters.

The 35-year-old added that he expects to participate in several matches in the Big Bash League (BBL) this year, although he remains open to future opportun???ities as they arise.

“I think I’ll get a few [BBL] games in this year and then we’ll see where we go from there. Every chance I get, I jump at it,” Smith said.

Smith talks about his batting position

Smith also revealed ongoing discussions about his international future with Australia’s coaching staff. While his participation in upcoming T20 matches is uncertain, he confirmed that he will play a role in the one-day internationals in England before making any decisions on his future.

“The conversations I’ve had so far are that we’ll go to England and the boys will have the T20s, and then I’m there for the one-dayers and we’ll make a decision after that,” he said, hinting at potential changes depending on team ?dynamics and personal preferences.

Regarding his batting position, Smith exhibited his usual team-first attitude. While some of his teammates, including Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne, have exp??ressed?? a preference for him to bat at number four, Smith said he remains flexible.

“Those conversations are happening in the background. I saw some comments that Usman (Khawaja) made and I think he said he likes me down at number four, and I think Marnus (Labuschagne) is of a similar thought pattern,” he remarked, underscoring his willingness to adapt as needed.

The match played at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, was marked by a dramatic moment when a beamer nearly caused chaos, but it was the Freedom’s overall dominance that sealed their fate as champions.

The victory capped off a remarkable campaign for the Freedo??m, who consistently showcased their prowess throughout the tournament. Their combination of star power, balanced squad, and clinical execution proved to be too ??much for their opponents.

The Washington Freedom cruised to a comprehensive 96-run victory over the San Francisco Unicorns in the tournament. The match was highlighted by a shocking incident involving Juanoy Drysdale and Steve Smith, but it was Washington’s overall dominance that stole the show.

Juanoy Drysdale’s beamer rocks Steve Smith

The 13th over of the San Francisco Unicorns’ innings witnessed a heart-stopping moment. Drysdale, aiming for a yorker to unsettle the well-set Smith, lost control of the delivery.

The ball rocketed towards Smith, who had shuffled across the crease in anticipation. Fortunately, Smith escaped serious injury as Josh Inglis, the wicketkeeper, could ??only manage a partial save.

The delivery, ri??ghtfully called a no-ball, served as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with beamers in cricket.

Steve Smith was the star of the in?nings, scoring a scintillating 88 off 52 balls, including 7 fours and 6 sixes.

Pat Cummins was the pick of the bowlers for San Francisco, claiming 2 wickets for 35 runs, while Hassan Khan, Haris Rauf, and Juanoy Drysdale each took a wicket but proved expensive.

MI New York’s challenging start

New York’s innings got off to a rocky start after being asked to bat first by TSK. They lost opener Dewald Brevis for a duck and Nicholas Pooran for 8, both wickets falling inside the first four o?vers, leaving the team at a precarious 18 for 2.

Shayan Jahangir and Monank Patel then steadied the innings with a 39-run partnership before Dwayne Bravo disrupted it by dismissing Jahangir for 26 off 23 balls. Rashid then joined Patel, and?? although the duo added a ?promising 35 runs, Patel was dismissed by spinner Noor Ahmad for a well-made 48 off 41 balls.

Rashid’s impactful innings

Despite the interruptions, Rashid’s innings proved crucial. He counter-attacked with flair, hitting Bravo and Noor for boundaries, and scored two consecutive sixes off Hardie. His aggressive batting helped elevate the score to a competitive 163, though Romario Shepherd and New York’s captain, Kieron Pollard, contributed modestly. Rashid’s innings, characterized by 4 fours and ??4 sixes, came at an impressive strike rate of 183.33. It marked the fourth time he has scored a fifty in T20 cricket.

Victory for the Texas Super Kings

In the second innings, despite a brief rain delay complicating conditions, Rashid delivered a disciplined spell of bowling. He was introduced in the fourth over and conceded only four runs. Over his four-over spell, he maintained ti??ght control, giving away just 22 r??uns.

Nevertheless, despite Rashid’s efforts, the Texas Kings chased down the target with ease. The leading run-scorer of the tournament, Faf du Plessis, continued his exceptional form, scoring another fifty and guidin?g TSK to a nine-wicket victory, thus winning the crucial Eliminator game.
