I am not going anywhere, Steve Smith dismisses retirement rumors

After Usman Khawaja, will Steve Smith also retire? Smith himself has given a straightforward answer to this question. Talking to the media before the Sydney Test, the former captain said he is still enjoying cricket and has no intention of retiring. Steve Smith has ruled out following in the footsteps of Usman Khawaja.

Smith, while reminiscing about his old memories with Usman Khawaja, said that Khawaja has always overcome difficulties with his hard work. Usman is a great player, it has been an honor to play against him since childhood. He termed Khawaja's performance against Pakistan in 2018 as the best of his career. He said that it is necessary for him to stay on the field to fill the gap of senior players in the team. Steve Smith hopes that Usman Khawaja will make his last Test memorable.
