Declared the 'plotter-in-chief' in the ball tampering scandal, David Warner will never be considered for captaincy after serving his one-year ban, Cricket Australia (CA) announced.
Following CA's investigation into the infamous incident in Cape Town, it has come to light that Steven Smith and Cameron Bancroft knew what they were getting into but it was Warner who developed the "plan to attempt to artificially alter the condition of the ball".
Smith still has a slim chance to captain Australia again but Warner will not be considered at all. "Smith and Bancroft will not be considered for team leadership positions until a minimum of 12 months after the conclusion of their respective suspensions from international and domestic cricket," said CA in a statement.
"Any consideration of future leadership would be conditional on acceptance by fans and the public, form and authority among the playing group. David Warner will not be considered for team leadership positions in the future," it added.
