In the third Test against South Africa, the ban was imposed on the players of the IPL, David Warner, the game of ball distortion. Smith captures Smith's captaincy during the ball distortion and Smith has been out for a year. Warner also lost the post of vice-captain and received the same sentence of exile. Cricket Australia announced this sentence.
Because of sanctions on Smith, Rajasthan Royals have to choose Ajinkya Rahane as the new captain. South Africa's wicketkeeper-batsman Henrik Klansen has been replaced by Smith as the batsman.
Zubin Barua said, 'Smith will return to the team next year. We do not want to be in the same two players team. We are moving ahead with the goal of forming a team for the next three years. Even after returning to Australia, the class will be very useful for our team. "
