Jos Smith Seeks Comeback in The Hundred | Belfast News

Jos Smith is on a mission to claw his way back into England’s white-ball squads after being dropped from both T20 and ODI teams, and he’s turning to The Hundred as his comeback platform. Signed by Southern Brave for a hefty £300k, Smith hopes to impress new white-ball coach Brendon McCullum—who’s watching closely—and prove he still has what it takes to play all three formats. With his last T20 appearance dating back to last August, Smith sees The Hundred as the perfect springboard, especially since top-order spots are currently occupied. He admits disappointment at missing opportunities, particularly in ODIs, but remains focused on the present. The news of Ben Stokes’ retirement and McCullum’s exit hit him hard—he called it a shock, given their successful partnership. Smith still cherishes his time with England, describing it as expressive and not as intimidating as he feared. Now, he’s putting Test cricket on hold to chase his white-ball dream.
