The disgraced trio of Australian cricketers involved in the ball-tampering scandal, which has rocked the sport, not only cheated but lied and then tried to cover up their lies, an investigation by Cricket Australia (CA) found. Cricket Australia (CA) this morning confirmed that they will not be allowed to play global or domestic cricket in Australia but will be encouraged to play club cricket to "maintain links with the cricket community".

While speaking to media, Bancroft said, "I want to say that I'm very sorry".

'I wish I could turn back time, I will regret this for the rest of my life. I will do my best to contribute to the community. "He sent a message to say "what the hell is going on", except he didn't use the word "hell", Sutherland told reporters at the Australia team hotel in Johannesburg. These are young men and I hope people will give them a second chance. I hope the media and the fans don't forget that.

IST: Bancroft: It's so big because the action of doing it is completely wrong. "Their health and well-being is extremely important to us". "I am satisfied that the sanctions in this case properly reflect a balance between the need to protect the integrity and reputation of the game and the need to maintain the possibility of redemption for the individuals involved, all of whom have learned hard lessons through these events", said James Sutherland, Cricket Australia CEO. The explosive batsman accepted his mistake and took the responsibility of tampering with the ball. Before saying that he has stained the game, Warner said that he needs to spend time with his family and trusted advisers. The incident happened on the third day of the third Test between South Africa and Australia in Cape Town on Saturday.

Smith and Warner, captain and vice-captain respectively, were banned from playing for their country and state for 12 months, while Bancroft, the most inexperienced of the three, was banned for nine months.
