<br />

===Champions Trophy and World Cup===<br />
After featuring in home series against Zimbabwe and India, and the [[DLF Cup 2006–07|DLF Cup]] (a triangular tournament played in Malaysia that also included Australia and India), Smith was included in the West Indies squad for the [[2006 ICC Champions Trophy|2006 Champions Trophy]].<ref>{{cite web| url= https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/44/44904/One-Day_International_Matches.html| title= One-Day International Matches played by Dwayne Smith| publisher=CricketArchive| access-date= 12 September 2011| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121025201521/http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/44/44904/One-Day_International_Matches.html| archive-date= 25 October 2012| url-status= dead}}</ref> Although the West Indies, who were defending the title they won in 2004, reached the final, Smith made little contribution with bat or ball.

<br />
===Return to international cricket===<br />
Smith ended a gap of nearly two and a half years out of the West Indies side when he was called up to the squad for the ODI and T20I series in [[Australia]] in early 2010. Although Smith performed well, averaging 43.33 with the bat<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/AUS/West_Indies_in_Australia_2009-10/o_West_Indies_Batting.html|title=ODI Batting and Fielding for West Indies / West Indies in Australia 2009/10 | publisher=CricketArchive| access-date= 12 September 2011}}</ref> and 32.71 with the ball, the West Indies were soundly beaten 4–0 in the ODI series. After playing two matches against Zimbabwe following the tour of Australia, Smith again found himself out of the side. He was recalled for the Twenty20 series against England in September 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-west-indies-2011/content/story/529294.html|title=West Indies name young squad for England T20s | publisher=ESPNcricinfo| access-date= 12 September 2011}}</ref><br />
