Australia captain Smith left South Africa on Wednesday after being handed a ban from cricket
So, with Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft all having been banished from the Australian tour of South Africa - with Smith and Warner receiving 12-month bans and Bancroft nine months - the Kiwi airline invited all three to come watch the New Zealand team's next Test, starting in Christchurch on Friday.
Cricket Australia said coach Darren Lehmann was not "in any way involved in the incident" but an emotional Lehmann announced on Thursday he would step down at the end of the fourth Test match against South Africa.
Steve Smith is due to depart for Australia today (March 28) and will speak publicly upon his arrival home in Sydney.
Reports suggest that Melissa Quinn played junior cricket for the New South Wales cricket team in the U-19 level.
"The hysteria has gone worldwide and everyone that dislikes the way the Australian cricket team has played. has been given the opportunity to lay the boots in", he said.
Independent Cricket Australia commissioners and appeal commissioners have "exclusive jurisdiction" for determining matters relating to charges under the code and players agree not to launch proceedings "in any court or other forum" inconsistent with the commissioners' powers. "He's done a fantastic job with that team and if he wasn't aware of what was going on, there's no problem at all".
"Obviously previously we've butted heads on the line, but that's not the way to go", Lehmann said.
"As I stated before I had no prior knowledge of the (ball-tampering) incident and do not condone what happened at all".
"Saying goodbye to the players was the toughest thing I have ever had to do".
"We need to change how we play and within the boundaries we play".

CA Chief Executive James Sutherland met the players at their hotel in Johannesburg's Sandton district to tell them their fate before they flew back to Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Steve Smith and David Warner have received year-long bans over the ball tampering scandal.
Smith added: "I know I'll regret this for the rest of my life, I'm absolutely gutted. It hadn't happened before and I'm pretty confident it hasn't happened before".
With his father, Peter, standing behind with his hand on his son's shoulder, Smith broke down as he spoke about his parents. "It's devastating and I'm truly sorry". "And never cheat. Cheating is un-Australian", he said.
"You need to talk openly and share views on balance".

During the Third Test in Cape Town last weekend, Bancroft was caught by TV cameras rubbing the ball with sandpaper.
