Steve Smith speaks about his sacking from the 2024 T20 World Cup
India won the T20 World Cup 2024 however, Australia too was in the Super 8 but India and Afghanistan snubbed them from the Super 8, Australia was at its best they played like a champion team but some things went wrong which cost them afterward.

Steve Smith said:
“In terms of international T20s, I don’t know what’s going on there. They’ve got some people they want to bring in, and that’s fine. I understood the way that they wanted to stack up for the World Cup, with all the strong guys that smack it miles. I understood that. I’m not that fussed. I’ll just go about my business, keep trying to improve, and get better.”
“I’d certainly love another opportunity at IPL. I’ll be throwing my name in the hat, and we’ll see how we go. I feel like in every opportunity I’ve had in T20 cricket recently and franchise stuff, I’ve played quite nicely. So hopefully I just keep putting my name up there and enjoying it,” said Smith.
