Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft have been punished for spinning ball tampering scandal in the Cape Town Test. Cricket Australia (CA) has banned Smith and Warner for 12 months from international and domestic cricket. Bancroft has been banned for 9 months. Many people think that the punishment is more 'harsh' than their work. Besides, former India opener Gautam Gambhir has raised a new question, whether Smith-Warner's punishment is to rebel against the board?
In July last year, the country's first-class cricketers were involved in a dispute with Cricket Australia (CA) for the fee. Warner-Smiths were led by this rebellion. Gambhir thinks that the rebellion can play a role in this punishment. The Delhi Daredevils tweeted, "Cricket must be kept free from corruption, but the punishment on Aziz seems to have increased.Steve Smith, David Warner, however, is paying rebellion to increase the fee? History says that their administrators have condemned everyone who was in favor of the players. Excellent example: Ian Chappell. '
According to Gambhir, it is a great punishment for them to survive a fraud against the sanctions. However, Gambhir feels bad for Smith-Warner.Many of these cricketers are sympathetic towards Australia. Tweeted by legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar, 'They will be burnt in remorse and will have to bear the consequences of their life, With the players, their family will also be able to overcome this disturbance. We need to get back so we need to give them a little breathing. '
