The 35-year-old, who was ignored for the T20 World Cup and the upcoming tour of Scotland and England, guided the Washington Freedom to their maiden MLC title, finishing the T20 tournament as the franchise바카라s equal leading run-scorer with 336 runs at a strike rate of 148.67.
Smith made a 52-ball 88 against a bowling attack that featured Australian captain Pat Cummins and Pakistan quick Haris Rauf in the final against the San Francisco Unicorns and was adjudged the player-of-the-match.
"I바카라d certainly love another opportunity at IPL. I바카라ll be throwing my name in the hat, and we바카라ll see how we go,바카라 Smith was quoted as saying by FOX Cricket.
바카라I feel like in every opportunity I바카라ve had in T20 cricket recently and franchise stuff, I바카라ve played quite nicely. So hopefully I just keep putting my name up there and enjoying it.바카라
Smith has not featured in the IPL since 2021, having gone unsold in the previous two auctions.
With the national selectors preferring youngsters, the veteran also opened up on his axing and said he would go about his business trying to get better.
바카라In terms of international T20s, I don바카라t know what바카라s going on there,바카라 Smith said.
바카라They바카라ve obviously got some people they want to bring in, and that바카라s fine.
바카라I understood the way that they wanted to stack up for the World Cup, with all the strong guys that smack it miles. I understood that.
바카라I바카라m not that fussed. I바카라ll just go about my business, keep trying to improve and get better.바카라
Asked about giving a shot at winning gold at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028, Smith said: 바카라That바카라s still a while away as well, so we바카라ll wait and see. Never say never.
"I did watch quite a bit (of the Paris Olympics). I quite enjoyed it."
