Do you not think that punishment must be same as given for Smith, Warner, and Bancroft? But they ban him only for 1 match. What the heck is this? Why such discrimination?
They get 12 months ban and another one-match ban. On the strength of this latest incident .3 Aussies deserve to be reinstated How can you have 2 bans so far apart. Ball tampering it should have one universal ban. Ball tampering is ball tampering whichever way it's done.
Just like Faf Du Plessis and all the other ball tampering 'cheats', we will never hear of any of this again. Only when Australians do it does it become an issue because they're all still jealous of Australia's historical dominance in the game of cricket.

you're making a comparison with different levels of offence I think here.
Chandimal's appeal seems to be based on the fact that the ICC cannot determine what he actually did, but also on the fact that his action was not pre-meditated.
The case against the Australians is clear; three players colluded to deliberately set out to cheat, before play, and used sandpaper to alter the condition of the ball.
Whilst I'm not privy to the musings of the ICC or individual boards, it seems that the ICC have banned Chandimal, but it was Cricket Australia who banned Warner, Smith and Bancroft for the year.
There's a very good piece here on ESPNCricinfo which deals with it in pretty comprehensive terms.
I do see where you're coming from but I think the issue of pre-meditation is critical here.
