By IANS News May 20, 2025 • 19:32 PM View: 694

Major League Cricket: Superstar batter Steve Smith will squeeze in a short stint in the upcoming Major League Cricket season between the World Test Championship final and Australia’s tour of the West Indies.

In a tonic for the third edition of the American T20 competition, 35-year-old Smith is set to play two games for Washington Freedom - the franchise he captained to last year’s title.

There had been uncertainty over Smith’s status in this season’s MLC, which runs from June 12-July 13, due to Australia’s tight Test schedule.
