The veteran batter has admitted he'd like to feature for Australia at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.


Cricket will be making its first-ever appearance at the Summer Games in over a century at Los Angeles 2028.


Speaking after he mauled a fourth T20 ton during the Big Bash League game on Saturday, Smith told Fox Sports, "I'd like to play the Olympics, I reckon that would be cool."


"We'll see how far I go in terms of long-form cricket. But I am going to play short-form cricket for a while I think when I do finish. You never know.

"There are a lot of good young kids who are smacking the ball out of the park. There are other guys around the country giving it a whack."


Smith, who walloped a 58-ball century for Sydney Sixers, has 1094 T20I runs for Australia from 67 matches.


In 2024, the 35-year-old had only featured in two T20Is for Australia and also missed out on the Men's T20 World Cup squad.


Smith is currently featuring in Australia's T20 league following the Test team's 3-1 win against India in the Border-Gavaskar Series which helped them qualify for this year's ICC World Test Championship Final.


In their final assignment of the ongoing cycle, Smith will take charge of Australia in a two-Test series against Sri Lanka in the absence of full-time skipper Pat Cummins.
