Chasing the Olympics dream
Another major tournament outing on the cards for Australia’s seasoned campaigner is featuring in the LA28 Olympics.
With cricket making a return to the Olympic Games for the first time in 128 years, Smith expanded on what it will mean to be a part of the landmark moment.
“I’ve watched a lot of Olympics since I was a young kid and I’ve really enjoyed watching the Australian athletes go about it.
“When I heard that cricket was going to be a part of it, I was like that would be really cool to be involved in.
“I’ve obviously played in lots of World Cups and Ashes and Border-Gavaskar Trophies and things like that, when this popped up, it was something new.
“A new opportunity to represent your country on the world stage. I’d love to be involved in that. But still a fair bit away, so we’ll see.”
