Australia captain Steve Smith admitted bringing the game into disrepute after his side were caught tampering with the ball. He said the ‘leadership group’ of the team hatched the plan. ‘I’m not proud of what’s happened [and] it’s not within the spirit of the game. My integrity, the team’s integrity, the leadership group’s integrity has come into question and rightfully so. It’s certainly not on and it won’t happen again, I can promise you that, under my leadership.’Steve Smith admits to Australia ball-tampering plan against South Africa
