The World Simply Wants To See You Cry, Says Ravichandran Ashwin To Steve Smith

India ace Ravichandran Ashwin has delivered some words of sympathy for disgraced Australian trio Steve Smith, Cameron Bancroft, and David Warner.

Cricket Australia has handed the lengthy bans to the trio in the aftermath of the ball tampering scandal. Smith and Warner have been handed one-year bans while Bancroft was banned for nine months.

But while the scandal has drawn widespread criticism, many feel that the punishments dished out to the trio is harsh. The cricketing fraternity was then moved after seeing Smith and Bancroft became emotional during press-conferences.  Several players have expressed solidarity with the disgraced trio and Ashwin is the latest to raise his voice.

The Indian off-spinner took to Twitter to express his views. He also hoped the Australian cricketers could put the ball-tampering scandal behind them.

“The world simply wants to see you cry, once you have cried they will feel satisfied and live happily ever after. If only Empathy was not just a Word and people still had it. God give @stevesmith49 and Bancroft all the strength to come out of this,” tweeted Ashwin.

“And @davidwarner31 will also need the strength to fight it out, hopefully their players union will provide them with all the support,” he added.
