Ball Tampering Scandal  

Taunton: Australia opener David Warner revealed how his wife Candice supported him during the tough times of ball-tampering scandal and the 12-month ban. Warner, after hitting a century (107) against Pakistan in the ICC World Cup 2019 in Taunton on Wednesday (June 12), said his wife was his “rock” and supported him to comeback stronger to international cricket. Australia won by 41 runs for their third win in the 10-team tournament.

Bristol: English crowds targeted Australian duo of Steve Smith and David Warner as they returned for the ICC World Cup 2019 after serving bans for ball-tampering scandal. When Australia played Afghanistan in Bristol, both were subjected to booing. However, after the win on Saturday (June 1), Nathan Coulter-Nile told the media that they expected such reactions from the "ruthless" England fans.

Smith was banned for 12 months for his role in the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa scandal last year. His ban ends on March 28.
 

Steve Smith and David Warner were handed one-year suspensions in the ball tampering scandal which hit the Australian team in South Africa earlier this year
