On this day in 2018, the 'sandpapergate' ball-tampering controversy erupted when Australian Cameron Bancroft was caught on camera cheating
The opening batter was fielding during the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town when he was filmed rubbing the ball with unusual pressure and then hiding a yellow object down his trousers.
Captain Steve Smith admitted to a ball-tampering plot, and he, vice-captain David Warner, and Bancroft were sent home in disgrace by Cricket Australia.
Since then, only Steve Smith and David Warner have managed to play for Australia again. Why wasn't Cameron Bancroft given another chance?
