Did MICT fail to use power-packed Smith?

JASON Smith's inclusion in the Proteas' T20 World Cup squad raised eyebrows, especially after a mixed season with MI Cape Town. While his power is undeniable, many fans are asking if his move down the order at MICT hindered his form. | Sportzpics

(Sportzpics)

Smith is among the 15-players selected in South Africa's squad for the upcoming 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup in India next month, a squad that was selected by convenor of selectors Patrick Moroney and coach Shukri Conrad.

The 31-year-old was a surprise addition to the squad, as he did not seem to be in the plans, having not been included in last month's five-match T20I series in India. However, the power-packed batter has shown glimpses of what convinced both Conrad and Moroney that he could add value in the T20 World Cup.
