“I didn’t feel as good as I would’ve liked but it’s nice to score runs when you’re not feeling good,” Smith told reporters.

“Honestly when I am out in the middle everything else is a blur. Just concentrate on what I am doing and it’s almost like my haven I guess,” said Smith.

“I’m not going to lie, its been a difficult time in my life, there’s no doubt about that.

“But I’ve accepted my punishment, I’ve accepted what I’ve gone through and I’m moving forward and part of my rehab is playing cricket as well and that’s what I love doing.”

“It’s nice to hear people supporting you,” said Smith.

“It’s great to have the support so I am thankful that everyone has been supportive since I’ve been here.”
