The Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) will feature the first match of BBL season 13 on December 8, where Sydney Sixers will face off against the Melbourne Renegades.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As quoted by Cricket.com.au, Smith said that it was great to be back with the franchise and eager to make his mark in the upcoming season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It's great to be back in the Sixers shirt,\" Smith said. \"I've got some really fond memories playing for the Sixers. Obviously, I am an original, part of the first squad and really enjoyed my time playing last year for the five or six games and the finals that I played, so I'm keen to get out there again.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While the number of appearances Smith will make in BBL13 remains uncertain, his presence in the opening clash against the Renegades is assured.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The much-anticipated game may feature Smith, clashing with his World Cup-winning teammate Adam Zampa, who recently transitioned from the Stars to the Renegades.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Additionally, Nathan Lyon, a stalwart in the Test arena alongside Smith, has also joined the Renegades, setting the scene for an intriguing encounter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I'm really looking forward to that. Looking forward to coming up against 'Zamps' (Zampa) with the Renegades, obviously he's a world class bowler, coming off the back of a magnificent World Cup for Australia.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Smith had an absolutely amazing BBL season the previous year, scoring 346 runs in just five innings. He became the first male player to score a century for the Sixers with two outstanding hundreds throughout his performance. Prior to this, he had missed the mark seven times. A dominant victory over the Thunders was aided by his outstanding 125 not out at the SCG.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With an eye toward the upcoming T20 World Cup, which will be held in the United States and the Caribbean, Smith has recently adopted the role of opener, which is a calculated move in line with his ambitions to guarantee this position for Australia in the T20Is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/steve-smith-reveals-his-comeback-to-the-bbl-season-13.jpg", "alt_img": "Steve Smith reveals his comeback to the BBL season 13", "alt_title": "Steve Smith reveals his comeback to the BBL season 13", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Steve Smith Reveals His Comeback To The BBL Season 13 On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Steve Smith Reveals His Comeback To The BBL Season 13, The Sydney Cricket Ground: Australia batter Steve Smith has revealed his comeback to the Big Bash League (BBL) wearing the.", "seo_keywords": "Steve Smith, Photo Credit, New Delhi, Big Bash League, Sydney Sixers, The Sydney Cricket Ground, Melbourne Renegades, World Cup, Adam Zampa, Nathan Lyon, T20 World Cup, United States", "tag": "", "tagging": "Steve Smith, Photo Credit, New Delhi, Big Bash League, Sydney Sixers, The Sydney Cricket Ground, Melbourne Renegades, World Cup, Adam Zampa, Nathan Lyon, T20 World Cup, United States", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "steve-smith-reveals-his-comeback-to-the-bbl-season-13", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1084", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-11-27 16:00:04", "updated": "2023-11-27 16:00:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Steve Smith, Photo Credit, New Delhi, Big Bash League, Sydney Sixers, The Sydney Cricket Ground, Melbourne Renegades, World Cup, Adam Zampa, Nathan Lyon, T20 World Cup, United States", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-27 16:00:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/steve-smith-reveals-his-comeback-to-the-bbl-season-13-132981" }
