Cricket Australia (CA) has ruled out reducing bans imposed on Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft for their part in the ball-tampering scandal.

The governing body on Monday revealed the findings of an independent organisational review, which was conducted in the wake of the ball-tampering fiasco in South Africa in March.

CA was described as “arrogant” and “controlling” in the 145-page review, which found that CA was partly to blame for the events at Newlands.

The Australian Cricketers’ Association responded by calling for penalties handed down to Australia captain Smith, his deputy Warner and opening batsman Bancroft to be reconsidered.

CA chairman David Peever said there is no chance that Smith and Warner will be available to return to international or domestic cricket before April 2019, while Bancroft will remain banned until next January.
