Steve Smith takes full responsibility for Australia ball-tampering scandal
"I just want to say I'm sorry for the pain I've brought to Australia, the fans and the public. It's devastating," says Smith.
An emotional Steve Smith has taken full responsibility for the Australian ball-tampering scandal and says he "failed" as a captain.
Smith has been banned for 12 months for his role in a plan for Cameron Bancroft to use sandpaper to manipulate the condition of the ball during the third Test against South Africa.
Cricket Australia have said the only players aware of the plan were Smith, Bancroft and vice-captain David Warner and the three players were sent home ahead of the fourth Test, which starts in Johannesburg later this week.
