Australian cricket team’s dark days
One of the first things that comes to mind when talking about all allegations is the ball tampering incident of 2018. In the third Test match between South Africa and Australia Bancroft, Warner, and Steve were accused of tampering with the ball. Later Bancroft and Smith admitted that they had conspired to change the condition of the ball by using a piece of adhesive tape that contained ground granules. However, there was a revelation that sand paper was actually in use. Following this incident, both Warner and Smith had to step down from their respective roles. Additionally, both of them were suspended for 12 months while Bancroft was suspended for 9 months.
