    Ball-tampering: Cricket Australia bans Warner and Smith for 12 months

    What's the story

    Steve Smith and David Warner have been banned for one-year by Cricket Australia (CA) for their involvement in the ball tampering incident in the 3rd Test against South Africa.

    This comes after CA CEO James Sutherland announced, on Tuesday, that there will be heavy sanctions on the players who masterminded this scandal.

    Yesterday, Smith, Warner and Bancroft were suspended for the fourth Test.

    Big blow

    12-month ban was expected

    This comes as a big blow to Australian fans, given the World Cup is only 12 months away.

    On Tuesday, Sutherland had stated that the verdict will be pronounced once the investigation gets completed.

    Australia have replaced Smith, Warner and Bancroft with three new players for the fourth Test. Tim Paine was announced Australia's skipper.

    Cameron Bancroft has been banned for nine months.

    Information

    Smith, Warner suffer one blow after another

    Smith and Warner have stepped down as captains of Rajasthan and Hyderabad respectively. They were retained for whopping amounts. Warner is set to lose his contract with LG Australia. Their 2019 World Cup places aren't safe anymore.

    Out of the job

    Smith, Warner banned from captaincy for two years

    The CA has also banned these two legends from captaining Australia for the next 2 years.

    This means, they could only stake a claim in 2020.

    A lot will depend on how they perform once they make a return to the national side next year.

    Australia will miss Smith's captaincy in the 2019 World Cup and the Ashes as well.

    Information

    Players have right to appeal the verdict

    Reports state that all the players involved in the incident have the right to appeal their verdicts and also the duration of their penalties with an independent commissioner. Smith will speak publicly after his arrival in Sydney.
