Smith and Warner rejoin Australian Cricket team

Former Australian captain Steve Smith and former vice-captain David Warner re-joined the national cricket team for the first time since they were suspended for their roles in a ball-tampering scandal in South Africa last March.


The 12-month ban is set to come to an end on March 28. The pair will join the Aussies in Dubai ahead of their five-match ODI series against Pakistan.
The Australian squad is currently in UAE after their ODI series victory against India and are preparing for the next series against Pakistan starting on March 22.

Both Smith and Warner are now set to head to India for the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League, which begins on March 24.
