Αφού έσπασε τον τρίτο του τόνο BBL, ο Steve Smith είπε ότι θα ήταν υπέροχο αν μπορούσε να αγωνιστεί στους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες του 2028 στο Λος Άντζελες.
Despite being out of favour when it comes to T20Is, Steve Smith has no plans to give up and is eyeing to play the 2028 Los Angles Olympics. With cricket set to return to the marquee event after a long gap, the former Australian skipper reckons it will be pretty cool to take part in the event. His remarks came right after he smashed a century in the Big Bash League (BBL).
Steve Smith wants to feature in 2028 LA Olympics
Following his whirlwind knock for Sydney Sixers at the SCG, Smith revealed his ambitions to take part in the Olympics. He confirmed that he intends to play in the shortest format of the game for a while once he is done playing Tests. Smith also admitted that he hasn’t spoken about getting a recall to the T20I side. It is pertinent to point out that he was left out of Australia’s squad for the T20 World Cup and hasn’t been considered for the shortest format since then.
“I’d like to play the Olympics, I reckon that would be cool. We’ll see how far I go in terms of long-form cricket. But I am going to play short-form cricket for a while I think when I do finish. You never know,” Smith said.

Smith’s ton at the SCG was his third in the BBL from just 32 matches. With this knock, he joined Ben McDermott on the top of the list of players with most centuries in the tournament. His 121-run knock off 64 deliveries was studded with seven sixes.
“I had a bit of luck early, and then from there found some rhythm. But if I am playing T20s regularly I probably come out with a slightly different mindset at the start, give myself a bit more time and just play better cricket shots than a bit of the rogue stuff. I think that would come if I was playing consistently,” Smith added.
