March 28, 2018 12:20

In light of recent events, David Warner has stepped down as captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad. The new captain of the team will be announced shortly. Warner quit captaincy after ball-tampering saga.

Australian cricketers Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft will be sent home from South Africa as Cricket Australia came down heavily on their captain, his deputy and young opening batsman for orchestrating a ball-tampering conspiracy during Newlands Test against South Africa.

The 31-year-old Warner also reportedly irked the entire Australian dressing room by partying after the scandal. Earlier, Smith had also stepped down as captain of another IPL franchise, Rajasthan Royals, due to the incident, for which he was banned for one Test by the ICC. Smith was replaced by Ajinkya Rahane as RR skipper.
