Jamie Smith skips 2026 IPL to focus on red-ball cricket ahead of England’s Test series vs. New Zealand.
England wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith says missing the 2026 IPL could help him prepare for the upcoming Test summer against New Zealand.
After a tough Ashes series where he scored 211 runs in five Tests with only one half-century, Smith acknowledged the physical and mental strain of back-to-back long series.
Omitted from the IPL auction and dropped from white-ball squads, he views the break as an opportunity to focus on red-ball cricket, refine his technique, and rebuild form ahead of the County Championship and potential England call-ups.
