Australian cricket cheats are sent home in disgrace: Team bosses kick out trio behind ball-tampering scandal amid fury across the globe
Darren Lehmann will not be resigning as coach of the Australian cricket team despite the ball-tampering scandal on the team's tour of South Africa. Australian cricket captain Steve Smith, vice-captain David Warner and player Cameron Bancroft are still waiting to find out their punishments after they were caught ball-tampering but have been sent home from the tour. Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland, giving a press conference in Johannesburg, said an investigation had found no other players or coach Lehmann had been involved or had 'prior knowledge' of the plan. Smith, the golden boy of Australian cricket just a few months ago after leading his team to a 4-0 Ashes rout of England, could be stripped of the captaincy. He stepped down temporarily on Sunday, as did Warner. Mail.
