‘I’m not really sure what selectors want to do…’ – Steve Smith breaks silence on his inclusion in T20 World Cup 2024

Australia’s star cricketer Steve Smith has recently opened up about his chances in the T20 World Cup 2024, which is slated to begin on June 2, 2024, in the West Indies and the USA. Notably, Steve Smith has just made 4 and 11 runs, respectively, in the recently concluded three-match T20I series against New Zealand, where they won the series by 3-0 in overseas conditions.

However, Steve Smith admitted that a few good balls can make a great difference in the game. The top-order batter has recently opened up about facing the ball against New Zealand bowlers like Adam Milne and Lockie Ferguson. In addition, the former Aussie Captain accepted that his selection in the upcoming marquee event depends on the selectors; however, he is not worried about anything at this moment.

“I got a couple of decent balls to be fair. (Adam) Milne got one to take off in the second game, which was tough. Lockie, when that sun was setting, it was quite difficult to pick up and he gave me a nice in-swinger. Look, it wasn’t ideal, but it is what it is and whatever will be will be from here. I’m not really sure what (selectors) want to do. I’m not really too fussed either way. If I’m there, I’m there. If I’m not, I’m not,” Steve Smith said on AAP.

It’s fun, but honestly I don’t see it as anything different: Steve Smith

Steve Smith has also talked about opening the innings in the Test match and the major difference in batting in the middle order as compared to opening the innings. Moreover, the 34-year-old cricketer says that he is not worried about his position in batting.

“It’s fun, but honestly I don’t see it as anything different. I batted at three for an extended part of my career and I batted at four, where I’ve been in inside of two overs. It’s really nothing that new to me,” he added further.
