The year 2018 has not been easy and good for the fans of Australia. Though they started the year on a positive note by winning the Ashes 4-0, but after that things have gone downhill for a team that was ‘the best in the world’ not long ago.
Months after Ashes victory, Australian team was hit by ball tampering scandal, after which their skipper Steve Smith, his deputy David Warner and young batsman Cameron Bancroft were banned for a long time. The ball-tampering scandal had taken place on the third day of Cape Town Test against South Africa.
Australia’s then coach Darren Lehmann had stepped down from his position as the head coach of the team and was replaced by Justin Langer.
