Probably the biggest scandal that hit international cricket after the 2010 spot-fixing, the ball-tampering incident has shocked fans and cricketers around the world.

Ball-tampering is not as big a crime as match-fixing. However, it is the deliberate and planned attempt to change the course of the match that has put the Aussies in a bad light.

After Bancroft was caught hiding the sticky-tape in his underpants, Smith went on to accept that the incident was planned and the 'leadership group' of the team knew about it beforehand.

The investigation by Cricket Australia has revealed some shocking details. As per the report, it was Warner who actually taught Bancroft how to change the condition of the ball. Subsequently, Warner and Steve Smith have been handed one year ban by CA while Bancroft was handed 9 months ban.

The latest saga can be the final nail in the coffin for Warner who has a never-ending list of altercations and controversies. The career of the left-handed batsman hangs by the thread and his future in international cricket looks gloomy.
