Two months ago, Australia's ball tampering scandal broke all the cricket world. There was a storm of condemnation against Steven Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft.
Many also said sympathy. The OJ Cricket Board has prohibited all three types of cricket from different types of cricket for different terms. That Steven Smith did not do any 'cheating' by ball tampering! Said former Australian captain and Cricket Australia (CA) director Mark Taylor
Cricket Australia banned Smith-Warner for ball tampering for one year and Bancroft 9 months. Many say the punishment has become more and more for them. After returning to cricket after the ban, Steven Smith will again be the captain of Australia's cricket team, says Taylor. He said, "After the ban, Smith will give his best to Australia's jersey again and captain of the future team. '
Young batsman Cameron Bancroft hit ball tampering in the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town in March. Later, the scandal claimed responsibility for the team's two senior players, Smith and David Warner.
Smith, along with two other players, also wanted to apologize at the press conference. They could not even apologize.
"I still think that Smith will be the captain of Australia," Taylor said on Sunday. He saw that something that was going to happen on that day of Cape Town Test and he did not stop. It is a neglected mistake. He is not a deceiver, he is a good man. What happened in the last few months is, in my opinion, a big loss. '
Smith is expected to return to international cricket again in March next year, due to one year ban. Smith will not be able to captain before March 2020. Because he has been banned for a year as well as two years in command. Taylor, however, is very optimistic about watching Smith as a future captain.
"I think if he comes back to the team and if he is the captain of Australia, then he can be a better captain," said Taylor, who handed Smith's blazer to Smith in 2014. '
Smith has got from the fans who have come back from the game again. After a year of being fond of fans, he may be seen again in the cricket field once again. But before the end of the sanctions period, if Smith returns, there will be no surprise. Former batsman Justin Langer has been appointed as coach of the Australian cricket team instead of Darren Lehmann. Langer said, "My doors are open for Smith-Warner and Bancroft." '
