'I Feel Like I'm Doing Alright At The Moment': Steve Smith Shuts Down Retirement Talks
With Usman Khawaja: Australian stand-in captain Steve Smith is ready to relinquish captaincy to a younger candidate in the absence of captain Pat Cummins if that is what the selectors wish to do. With Usman Khawaja hanging up his cricket boots on Sunday after the Sydney Test, Nathan Lyon has already been ruled out due to injury. Smith will now be the oldest player in the Australian XI, side by side with Scott Boland.
When asked about possibly being involved in the 2027 Ashes series in England, Smith indicated that he was uncertain of that possibility; however, he was happy to enjoy his cricket at this moment and was only focused on the current series.
"I've said it for a while, I'm taking it day-by-day, series-by-series, and we'll see where things land," said Smith. "I feel like I'm doing alright at the moment, I'm enjoying it, I'm contributing, and having fun. So there's no real end date for me.
