"Served His Punishment...": Greg Chappell Wants This Australian Star's Captaincy Ban To End
Australian batting great Greg Chappell on Tuesday called for the lifetime captaincy ban on David Warner to be lifted, saying the star batter has the capability to successfully lead a side. Warner, former captain Steve Smith and batter Cameron Bancroft were banned from playing domestic or international cricket as punishment for their roles in the 2018 ball-tampering scandal in South Africa. While Warner and Smith were banned for one year, Bancroft was suspended for nine months. Additionally, Smith was stripped of the captaincy and banned from leading Australia for two years, while Warner was handed a lifelong leadership ban.
