Smith, O'Keefe on the lookout for new IPL homes


SYDNEY: New South Wales pair Steve Smith and Steve O'Keefe, who are also housemates, are on the lookout for new homes in the Indian Premier League after the demise of their franchise Kochi Tuskers Kerala. 


According to the Sydney Morning Herald, they will be keen to attract the eyes of scouts when the trading window opens on Thursday. 


The pair face strong competition from former Kochi teammates such as Muttiah Muralitharan, Mahela Jayawardene, VVS Laxman, Brendon McCullum and Brad Hodge in the trade period, which is open for players bought in last year's player auction. 


Teams have until January 20 to pick up a maximum of four players, while the player auction will be held in late January or early February.
