Dwayne smith had an IPL career when other players were required to be away for country duties.
That's not gonna happen anymore and he is now obsolete

Who knows? Maybe he gets a new life with the expansion teams .. plus not all the players are available due to International commitments.

Smith will be so rusty when he returns to the Caribbean, with all this inactivity....
It's just as well he's been omitted from the world 20/20 squad.

Smithy will be back...being on the bench will make him more hungry and force him to perform when the opportunity comes
