ISLAMABAD: Cricket Australia imposed one year banned on former captain, Steven Smith and Vice-captain David Warner for their roles in the pre-meditated plan to tamper with the ball on the third day of the Cape Town Test against South Africa.
According to report, an official announcement of their penalties is expected to be announced soon. Cameron Bancroft, the player to actually tamper with the ball, has been banned for nine months.
All players will have the right to challenge their verdicts and also the duration of their penalties via a CA code of behavior hearing with an independent commissioner, who can also choose whether the hearing is public or private.
Steven Smith is due to depart for Australia today and will speak publicly upon his arrival home in Sydney.
