Australia's star batsman Steve Smith admitted that getting a spot in the T20I squad for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics won't be easy for him.
However, the veteran is ready to put up a fight to earn his spot in Australia's T20I squad for the mega event.
"I mean, it is a goal of mine to try and make that Olympic team in 28. I think, you know, the team's doing pretty well at the moment, the Australian T20 team. So it's going to be tricky to get in there, but you know, just got to keep putting my best foot forward, and we'll never know," Smith told Sky Sports.
