Yuvraj Singh goes back 13 years after Steve Smith announces shock retirement from ODIs after Champions Trophy exit

Hindustan Times  

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh penned an emotional note for Steve Smith, who announced his retirement from ODI cricket after a defeat to India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final. The 2011 ODI World Cup Player of the Tournament said Smith's impact goes beyond numbers and that his legacy would inspire the upcoming generations to pick up the cricket bat. “Now is a great opportunity for people to start preparing for the 2027 World Cup, so it feels like the right time to make way.” In the test format, where matches are played across five days, Smith has scored 10,271 runs in 116 tests, including 36 centuries and 41 half-centuries, and averages 56.74 per innings. Australia's selection committee chairman George Bailey said Smith remained "fully committed to test cricket and is an integral member of and leader within that team.” “Steve has said on many occasions he is approaching the remainder of his playing career on a series-by-series basis, a position which hasn’t changed and one Cricket Australia supports," Bailey said.
