Steve Smith speaks on not touching the bat after CT2025, how Adelaide Test failure against India ‘clicked something in him’

Smith, 36, who retired from ODIs after his side’s semifinal run in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, will be aiming to continue his superb form in whites and hit another century for ages during the title clash for the Test mace on June 11. Having hit a century during 2023 WTC final against India in UK, Smith struggled for runs for a while before regaining his magic touch during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. In his last five Tests across India and Sri Lanka Tests, he has scored four centuries.
