David Warner and Steven Smith could face lengthy bans from Cricket Australia
Smith, 28, was banned for one Test by the International Cricket Council (ICC) after admitting he and a group of his players planned ball tampering during the third Test against South Africa.
Lehmann was widely expected to be sacked as Australia coach after it came to light that the Australian team was involved in ball-tampering in the recently concluded third Test against South Africa on Saturday.
Australia opener Cameron Bancroft was caught on camera tampering with a ball and he later said in a press conference: "We had a discussion during the break".
But the matter could yet be taken out of Smith's hands after Cricket Australia (CA) confirmed Sunday that they were sending a team led by their head of integrity to Cape Town to investigate the scandal before deciding on a course of action.
In 2003, we modified the Spirit of Cricket document originally created by the M.C.C., to empower our players to set their own standards and commit to play the Australian way. The method goes against cricket's code of conduct and is considered illegal within the sport. "If he did know then he's in a whole heap of trouble and will not be able to hold his job down if he is condoning cheating and (the) scratching of a cricket ball", Hussain told Sky Sports.
Darren Lehmann will remain as Australia coach, despite reports to the contrary.
Meanwhile, the ball-tampering incident came to light when television cameras spotted Bancroft putting a yellow tape into his trousers. Bancroft could also be in for harsher punishment from Cricket Australia.

Adhering to the highest safety and quality standards, Enec and Kepco completed the Unit 1 construction in 69 months. The construction of the Barakah plant as a whole is now 86 percent complete.
As the scandal grew in Australia the hashtag #sandpapergate began trending on Twitter and former cricket players tweeted their disappointment over the team's behavior. David Warner, Smith's deputy is also involved.
Smith referred to the team's "leadership group" as being behind the plan though the make-up of the "leadership group" has not been defined.
Even if he is cleared of any involvement in the affair, there is clearly a mood overseas in Australia that the standards of behaviour of the national team have dropped too far under Lehmann's leadership. After all, our cricketers are role models and cricket is synonymous with fair play.
He added: "I want to also apologise to Cricket South Africa and South African fans that this issue has overshadowed what should have been a great series". "All this nonsense about not stepping over the line, the way they behaved as badly as South Africa in that rancorous test match in Durban where they kept cursing the opposition and carrying on in an aggressive way reflected the lack of judgment", Maxwell said during an ABC broadcast, via news.com.au.
Only one thing is for certain in Australian crickets darkest hour.
Mr Smith coached the Australian captain until his mid-teens and it was clear the skipper showed enough potential to play senior state cricket.
Like many, I am deeply troubled by the events in Cape Town this last week and acknowledge the thousands of messages I have received, mostly from heartbroken cricket followers worldwide, Waugh said today.
