Cricket: Steve Smith retires from ODIs after 15 years

# Cricket: Veteran Australian batter Steve Smith plans to still play Tests and T20s for his country after announcing his retirement from one-day internationals. He made the decision after his team was beaten by India in the semifinal of the Champions Trophy. Thirty-five-year-old Smith played 170 ODIs for Australia since making his debut against the West Indies in 2010. His five-thousand-800 runs included 12 centuries, and he earned two World Cup titles. Smith says it’s been a great ride and he loved every minute of it.
