Former Australia cricketer Adam Gilchrist has countered a leading daily for spreading the false news with his name. However, later they rectified their mistakes.
Meanwhile, Australia Cricket has touched the rock bottom post the ball-tampering scandal. Television footage showed Bancroft take what he said was a yellow tape out of his trouser pocket before rubbing the ball to change its condition.
However, later Steve Smith said the team’s “leadership group” had a plan, carried out by Cameron Bancroft, to tamper with the ball to “get an advantage.”
In the wake of the incident, Gilchrist gave an interview to Melbourne radio station SEN. The prolific wicket-keeper batsman talked about various issues. However, he stressed on David Warner’s personality and the way he plays the game.
Gilchrist believes Warner’s personality has controlled the manner in which the team has gone. However, news daily misquoted that and reported that Gilchrist blamed Warner for the scandal.
To everyone’s surprise, the southpaw took it head on and countered the news piece. He took to Twitter to convey that he didn’t say that.
Meanwhile, the leading daily accepted their mistake and rectified the same instant.
Further, the ball-tampering episode took a new turn when Australia’s head coach Darren Lehmann stepped down from his role. On the eve of the fourth Test, Lehmann announced that this series would be his last series.
He also called for a culture change in Australian cricket and felt that this is the right time to step down.
