Steve Smith Dropped Out of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024

Steve Smith has dropped out of the Australian squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The change might have occurred due to his poor form in the recent.

There has been some confusion in the air - will Steve Smith play the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024? Almost a month back, Steve claimed that he was not too bothered about the selection in the official squad for the tournament.

It turns that out Steven Smith is dropping from the World Cup. Steve is aware of his performance, especially in the recent T20I series against New Zealand. Smith said-

"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," said Smith.

This could be the reason why Smith decided to drop out of the tournament. While New Zealand has already announced their squad, Australia has yet to present theirs.
