Three New Faces In Aussie Test Squad Maxwell One Of Them

  • 6 years ago
Glenn Maxwell and Joe Burns will fly to South Africa as part of Australia's revamped squad for the final Test of the series after Cricket Australia confirmed three players will leave the tour due to their involvement in the ball-tampering scandal.

Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft will be sent home from South Africa after CA suspended the trio for plotting to alter the condition of the ball on day three of the third Test in Cape Town. The trio was reported for breaching article 2.3.5 of Cricket Australia’s Code of Conduct.

Tim Paine, who acted as interim captain on day four in Newlands following Smith and Warner standing down from their leadership roles, will lead the side for the fourth Test in Johannesburg as Australia's 46th Test captain.
