Lehmann expected to resign, CA bosses head to South Africa amid ball tampering scandal
Bancroft, who was caught on camera pulling out sand paper to scruff up the ball during the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town, said he is disappointed with himself.
"To cricket fans in Australia and all over the world: I am now on my way back to Sydney".
Smith said as the captain of the Australian team, he had to "take full responsibility".
"It was a failure of leadership, my leadership. It is something I will regret for the rest of my life", Bancroft said. I am absolutely gutted. "They don't reflect on my values. and it's something I'm really ashamed of and I'm so sorry for". "At the moment, I have received the paperwork for my sanction", he said.
"Telling the players was the toughest thing I have ever had to do", he said.
Cricket Australia announced its chief executive James Sutherland would speak to media at 2.45pm BST in Johannesburg following Lehmann's resignation.
Among Bancroft's biggest regrets is that he did not question the suggestion from his opening partner Warner that he attempt to rough up the ball with sandpaper, having never before been involved with ball tampering at any level of the game.
Roughing up one side of the ball would have given Australian bowlers an advantage by producing more swing.
Former vice-captain Warner, who received a 12-month ban and cannot return to a leadership role, apologised to cricket fans "all over the world" in a post on Twitter on Thursday.

Trump bids farewell to Hope Hicks
Upon announcing she'd be leaving the position, Trump released a statement commending Hicks for her service. Hicks had been one of Trump's most loyal aides since the beginning of his political career.
Smith's fall from grace has been dramatic, and fast.
The case caused public outrage in Australia but the sentences have been criticised in some quarters as being disproportionately harsh, including by former Australian spin bowler Shane Warne. "You will hear from me in a few days". "They'll support you if they see that, and they'll forgive you".
Warner broke his silence in a Twitter message on Thursday afternoon.
Cricket is a sport that has games that spans over three days, whilst rugby games only go for 80 minutes and soccer games only go for 90 minutes. why does a cricket game take so long? "As I've stated before I had no prior knowledge of the incident and do not condone what happened at all, but good people can make mistakes".
The world of cricket has been rocked by the incident of ball-tampering recently.
CA's response wasn't enough to save an estimated Aus$20 million (US$15 million) partnership with naming rights sponsor Magellan which tore up its three-year contract Thursday after barely seven months. Both the players were also barred from this year's IPL. Electronics giant LG axed Warner on Wednesday, while Weet-Bix and Commonwealth Bank dumped Smith.
Cameron Bancroft has arrived in Perth after being sent home from Perth. "All I can do in the short term is to ask for forgiveness". Firstly, I'm deeply sorry.
For former Australia cricket captain Steve Smith, it was reality television at its most heart-wrenchingly real.
After being banned for a year due to ball- tampering, Australian vice-captain David Warner is on his way back home.
