Steven Smith to play for Barbados Tridents in CPL 2018 | Cricbuzz.com

Australia batsman Steven Smith will represent Barbados Tridents in the upcoming Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2018 as he returns to the tournament for the first time in five years. He last featured in the league in 2013 playing for Antigua Hawksbills.

Smith, who is currently serving a one-year ban imposed by Cricket Australia (CA) for his involvement in the ball-tampering saga in the Cape Town Test, returned to cricket with the Toronto Nationals in the recently concluded Global T20 Canada.

Smith, who has scored 3124 runs in T20 cricket, including a hundred and 11 fifties, will replace Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan who is no longer available for the tournament.

Meanwhile, St Lucia Stars confirmed earlier that David Warner, who is also facing a 12-month ban, will make his CPL debut this season. Warner was named as a replacement to D'Arcy Short, who will not be able to part take in the T20 tournament as he is part of the Australia A squad that tours India for a quadrangular series.

The CA ban does not restrict both from playing overseas leagues or lower-grade cricket.
