Former Australia captain Steve Smith will serve out the remainder of his 12-month ban from international and state cricket recuperating from surgery on his injured elbow, Cricket Australia (CA) said yesterday.
The 29-year-old, banned with his vice-captain David Warner and batsman Cameron Bancroft for his part in the Newlands ball-tampering scandal, returned from the Bangladesh Premier League on Saturday for scans on the injured joint.
A CA spokesman said Smith would require an operation on Tuesday to repair a ligament in his right elbow and would be in a brace for six weeks after that with a period of rehabilitation to follow.
That will take him up to the end of his ban on March 28 after which Australia were hoping to bring him back into the one-day international and Test teams ahead of the limited overs World Cup and Ashes series.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
