Steve Smith and David Warner to serve full bans for ball-tampering: Cricket Australia

Smith and Warner, then Australia’s captain and vice-captain, were banned from state and international cricket for 12 months over the incident in South Africa in March, while Bancroft was suspended for nine months.

Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft will all have to serve their full bans for ball-tampering, Cricket Australia ruled on Tuesday after reviewing a submission by the players’ union to cut the penalties.

CA interim chairman Earl Eddings said the board had “determined that it is not appropriate to make any changes to the sanctions handed down to the three players”.

Smith and Warner, then Australia’s captain and vice-captain, were banned from state and international cricket for 12 months over the incident in South Africa in March, while Bancroft was suspended for nine months.

There has been pressure on the governing body to reinstate the players amid a recent poor run of results.

The scandal, which rocked the sport, had far-reaching consequences in Australia with a clean-out of top executives from CA after a scathing review blamed its culture as partly contributing to players bending the rules.

The Australian Cricketers’ Association argued that the blame attributed to CA by the independent review was grounds to have the bans lifted.

Eddings, who became chairman this month after David Peever was forced out, said the board decision was unanimous.

“CA maintains that both the length and nature of the sanctions remain an appropriate response in light of the considerable impact on the reputation of Australian cricket, here and abroad,” he said.

“Steve, David and Cameron are working hard to demonstrate their commitment to cricket and have our continued support to ensure their pathway to return is as smooth as possible.”

Since the tampering scandal, the national team has been in a form slump with some high-profile former players saying Smith and Warner should be brought back as soon as possible, to the domestic Sheffield Shield competition at least.

Others argued that the bans should stay as all three players accepted their sanctions.

“We believe the ongoing conversation about reducing the sanctions puts undue pressure on the three players — all of whom accepted the sanctions earlier this year — and the Australian men’s cricket team,” Eddings said.

“As such, the Cricket Australia board doesn’t intend to consider further calls for amendments to the sanctions.”

Manish Pandey misses the cut for Brisbane T20I

Manish Pandey, who featured in all three T20Is against Windies in the recent home series, is one among the four players who didn't make it to India's 12-man shortlist for the first T20I against Australia in Brisbane, to be played on Wednesday (November 21). Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar and Umesh Yadav are the other three to be left out.

 

 

As was the case ahead of the T20I series opener against Windies, Rishabh Pant has been named the designated wicketkeeper in the 12-man shortlist. However, Dinesh Karthik donned the gloves in that game as well as the two subsequent ones in that series.

 

 

It remains to be seen if that changes, and Pant is handed the gloves considering what MSK Prasad had said when the selectors decided to rest MS Dhoni for both the T20I series: "The T20Is here [against Windies] and in Australia, he [Dhoni] is not going to play, because we are also looking at a second wicketkeeper. That will be between Rishabh and Dinesh Karthik. So they will be getting a chance to keep and bat."

 

 

While most of the players pick themselves, there could be toss up in the second half of the line-up. Ravi Shastri's recent admission that India will miss the all-round skills of Hardik Pandya could be a hint that Krunal, who made an impressive debut against Windies at home, will retain his spot to lend the sort of balance to the final XI that Shastri and Kohli so often seek.

 

 

With Krunal doubling up as a spin option, and the fact that the Brisbane surface will offer bounce, India might tilt towards playing all three quicks - Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed - at their disposal. In the event of that, Yuzvendra Chahal could be relegated to the bench while Kuldeep Yadav plays as the lone specialist spinner.

 

 

India's 12-man shortlist: Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Krunal Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Khaleel Ahmed, Yuzvendra Chahal
