Big Bash League side Sydney Sixers’ all-rounder Dan Christian has slammed Cricket Australia for not allowing batting stalwart Steven Smith play in their play-off game against Perth Scorchers, which they lost by 49 runs.
Smith was not contracted by the Sixers this season as it was assumed that he would be unavailable due to international commitments. But after the series against New Zealand got postponed, Sixers contacted CA to contract him for the remaining matches.
However, CA did not let him make a BBL return. “It sounds pretty ridiculous that one of the world [world’s best] is stopped from playing in the domestic competition,” Christian told SEN on Sunday.
