However, as Smith said, Alistair Cook go down as one of the finest English cricketers ever to grace the game. He will play his fifth and final Test at Oval London Test against India.

Steven Smith ruled out from CPL 2018:

Meanwhile, the discarded Australian professional Smith signed for Barbados Tridents to ply his trade for the first time in Carribean Premier League (CPL 2018). He showed his bowling and batting skills to help his side to win crucial moments of the game.

Despite his stint gone well with the team, unfortunately, he was ruled out from the tourney due to muscle strain.

Smith has been one of the few players performing for Barbados in the tournament. Sadly, they will miss him for the remaining games.
