Smith and some other Australian players had to return to their home country due to the deepening Covid-19 pandemic in India in April-May. The IPL had to be suspended mid-way with the remaining fixtures to be played in the UAE in September-October.
Several Australian players had initially stayed back to fulfil their commitments to their franchise but returned after the situation got worse.
However, most of them had to return to Australia after relocating to the Maldives, where they waited for their government to lift the temporary travel ban imposed on people coming from India.
