By defeating Pakistan on Sunday, the England cricket team captured the ICC T20 World Cup-2022 championship. While everyone in England is celebrating this victory, shocking news has emerged in the interim.
The 21-year-old England batsman has decided to leave first-class cricket. This batsman is Will Smeed. In order to focus on limited-overs cricket, Smeed has taken this decision. This news has once again proved that the focus of many players is now on limited overs rather than on Tests.

Smeed has signed a white ball contract with county team Somerset. Smeed will now only play ODIs and T20 matches for this county under the terms of this agreement. Smeed, a young batsman for England, made his England Lions debut earlier this year.
He impressed a lot while playing for Somerset in the last three seasons of the T20 Blast. While playing for Birmingham Phoenix, he scored a century, becoming the first player in this tournament to do so.
Scored a century at the age of 16
At the age of 16, Smeed made his debut in the spotlight by scoring a century in first-class cricket. That too against the team captained by former England captain Marcus Trescothick. He scored this century for Somerset’s second-division team against Sussex’s second-division team. But he never participated in a first-class match. In his share, he only has one List-A match. He has taken part in 55 T20 games concurrently.
