Former Australia Coach Darren Lehmann worries everyday about the banned trio and hopes they will return to international cricket after serving their respective bans. Lehmann recently stepped down from his position after the infamous ball-tampering scandal during the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town. Cricketers Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft were banned from playing international cricket for their involvement in the scandal.
“They are all good young men, I feel for the three players especially, they’re fantastic and I worry about them day-in, day-out,” Lehmann told.
“I hope they come back and play for Australia because they’re fantastic young men and they’ve paid the price.”
“For me Australian cricket is the most important thing and hopefully everyone can get back and play the right type of cricket that makes everyone respect and enjoy the Australian cricket team again,” Lehmann said.
After Lehmann’s departure, former opener Justin Langer was appointed the head coach by Cricket Australia.
