Hadn't Hit A Ball Since Missing Full Toss Off Shami In Champions Trophy, Reveals Smith
ICC World Test Championship Final: Ahead of facing South Africa in the upcoming ICC World Test Championship Final, Australia’s premier batter Steve Smith revealed that he hasn’t faced a single ball since missing a full toss from Mohammed Shami in the 2025 Champions Trophy semifinal.
After that game, where Smith hit 73 as Australia lost the semi-final, he announced his retirement from ODI cricket and spent his last three months in New York, USA, where he worked extensively on his fitness. While his other teammates were at IPL or County Championship, Smith didn’t touch the bat at all – something which comes as a surprise considering his obsession with the bat and shadow practising at every given opportunity.
"I'd normally have a bat laying around the house somewhere and just pick it up and do a bit of shadow batting and stuff. But I made a conscious decision to try and just let it go for a while. It was good. I hadn't hit a ball since I missed a full toss off Mohammed Shami in the Champions Trophy.
