Ball-tampering scandal: CA refuses to reduce punishment of Smith, Warner, Bancroft
Melbourne, Nov 20 (IBNS): The Cricket Australia (CA) has refused to reduce the punishment of former Australian skipper Steve Smith, vice-captain David Warner and cricketer Cameron Bancroft, who were banned over the ball-tampering case.
“The original decision of the Board to sanction the players was determined after rigorous discussion and consideration. CA maintains that both the length and nature of the sanctions remain an appropriate response in light of the considerable impact on the reputation of Australian cricket, here and abroad."
