He was included in England’s T20I squad for the recently concluded T20I tri-nation series between Australia, New Zealand and England.

However, Peshawar Zalmi’s top-order batsman Dwayne Smith is not looking tensed with his team’s initial performances. The Caribbean all-rounder believes that they can qualify for the play-offs. After the third game, where the Player of the Match award winner Dwayne Smith scored 71* but his team failed to secure a victory, Smith said, “I’m very proud of the way the team played, especially in the field. Barring a few chances we really bowled well. I’m sure we’ll bounce back, not let this game into our heads and make it to the play-offs. Don’t give up on us [just yet] because we haven’t given up as well. We’re going to come back and fight till the end.”
