Banned Australia cricket team players Steve Smith and David Warner could be seen playing club cricket back home soon. Steve Smith and Warner received a boost to their chances of playing competitive cricket again after The New South Wales Cricket Association (NSWCA) confirmed it would not stop them from playing grade cricket this season. Bancroft, on other hand, would require an exemption from The Western Australia District Cricket Council (WADCC) to play for his club in Perth this year. But they are eligible to take part in club cricket. The New South Wales based club governing body, though, cleared Smith and Warner’s names taking into account the CA verdict that explicitly said that banned players are eligible and encouraged to play club cricket.
