    What's the story

    Sydney Sixers managed to pull off the biggest coups in the Big Bash League (BBL) for the back end of the ninth edition.

    He is expected to be available for the Sixers' final two or three games in the league stage.

    What role will Smith play for Sixers?

    The 30-year-old Smith is expected to be available for the Sixers' final two or three games of the regular season.

    If the side manages to qualify for the BBL Finals, then Smith will get the chance to feature in all of those matches.

    It's a major highlight for Sixers to get the signature of Smith.

    He will add a definite shine at number three.

    He is then expected to feature against the Brisbane Heat on January 23 at the Gabba.

    How has Smith performed since his return from 12-month ban

    After returning from his 12-month ban for a ball-tampering scandal earlier this year, Smith had a decent run in the IPL and 2019 World Cup campaigns respectively.

    He then stood up in the Ashes 2019 and scored 774 runs that included three tons.

    Smith did well in the recently-concluded T20I series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan respectively.

    His best being 80* against Pakistan.
