It could be a lucky third time for the Sydney Sixers as the BBL prepares to send another SOS to Club Cricket Australia, asking Steven Smith to return in Friday night’s final against the Perth Scorchers.
Smith in the Entire Final Series :-
The Sixers attempted to sign former captain Smith for the entire final series, only to obstruct the move after objections from the competing state associations for CA.

He tried again ahead of Wednesday night’s Challenger final as Josh Phillippe confirmed Covid-19 but failed, sending assistant coach Jay Lenton out instead.
And the question is almost certain to be asked again after a dramatic last-ball victory over Adelaide at the SCG, where young gunman Hayden Kerr was dismissed for an unbeaten 98.
The Failed The Fitness Test :-
Steve O’Keefe (calf), Jordan Silk (hamstring), and captain Moises Henriques (calf) suffered fresh injuries on Wednesday night. While Daniel Hughes (ankle) failed a pre-match fitness test. Philip will not be able to play in the title rivalry with the Scorchers at Marvel Stadium.
Brothers Jack and Mickey Edwards will be on the final night of their scheduled separation. Which means they will be unthinkable until the Victorian government grants an exemption.
The plethora of enforced omissions could hypothetically be the result of a CA rethink about Smith. Who was expected to be part of a limited-overs series against New Zealand that was eventually postponed?
The Fifth-Degree Competition
This objective is set to be discussed by the Powerbrokers on Thursday. As the Sydney Sixers head south for their fifth title match with Perth.
Speaking to Fox Sports Wednesday night, Henriques was erratic about whether he would be fit to face the Scorchers.

Moises Henriques said, “I don’t know. It must be a bloody bad calf for me not to play.” “The flight won’t be unique tomorrow. We’ll see what happens. I’ll just walk around like an old boy. I’ve been doing this all year long anyway.”
Henriques, one of several Sydney Sixers to publicly regret Smith’s absence, attacked BBL administrators in defending his club’s decision to retire Silk.
