David Warner, Steve Smith bans to stay, says Cricket Australia

Cricket Australia will not reconsider reducing the ban on Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft in the ball-tampering case despite a series against India awaiting them next month.


Smith and Warner were slapped with a one-year international ban while rookie Cameron Bancroft was suspended for nine months by Cricket Australia in March this year for their role in the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa. The Australian Cricketers' Association (ACA) termed the punishment on the trio harsh and called for a reconsideration, but CA chairman David Peever turned down the plea.


"Sanctions were carried out and imposed by the board after a thoughtful process. So the sanctions stand," said Peever. "As chairman of the board of CA, I accept responsibility for what happened in South Africa, but I'm confident that we're positioned to move forward. "We've learned many lessons and there has been a lot going on since then. Both within the playing group and within the organisation itself to move things forward."
