Nathan Bede Smith (born 9 July 1995) is an Australian-born Irish former cricketer.[1] He represented the Northern Knights team in the Inter-Provincial Championship, Ireland's first class competition. Smith was predominantly a bowler. In March 2019, Smith announced that he would no longer be available to be selected by Cricket Ireland, as he focused on opportunities in Australia.[2]

[edit]Smith made his List A debut for Northern Knights in the 2017 Inter-Provincial Cup on 29 May 2017.[3] He made his first-class debut for Northern Knights in the 2017 Inter-Provincial Championship on 30 May 2017.[4] He made his Twenty20 cricket debut for Northern Knights in the 2017 Inter-Provincial Trophy on 9 June 2017.[5]
In May 2018, Smith was named in a fourteen-man squad for Ireland's first ever Test match, to be played against Pakistan later the same month.[6][7] However, ahead of the match he suffered an injury, ruling him out of the fixture, and was replaced in the squad by Craig Young.[8]
