Cricket Australia (CA) has come down heavily on its tainted cricketers in the wake of the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa. The fall from grace isn't limited to one individual in the Australian cricket set up, but Warner's loss seems the biggest. From being a part of batting royalty in world cricket, the diminutive left-hander is staring at exile today. Smith, who will not be allowed to captain the Australian team for another year after his ban, will most-likely find his way back into the team. According to the sanctions imposed by CA, the 31-year-old won't ever be allowed to lead an Australian team.
