Ball-tampering scandal: Here is when Rajasthan Royals will take a decision on ‘Bad Boy’ Steve Smith for IPL!

Steve Smith, who is considered as one of the finest batsmen of current generation, has landed himself in major trouble in the wake of Ball tampering scandal.

He was forced to step down as the captain of the Australian team for the ongoing Test match against South Africa and he has been fined 100% of his match fee with a ban on one Test.

While Smith is receiving flak from all corners of the cricketing world, his fate in the upcoming Indian Premier League is yet to be decided.

It has been made clear that his franchise Rajasthan Royals will wait till the decision of ICC is delivered to take a call of its own regarding Smith’s stint.

Rajeev Shukla, the IPL chairman, on Sunday cleared that Rajasthan Royals will wait and see what sanctions the ICC imposes on Smith before taking a call on his future as the franchise's captain.

Other than Smith, David Warner also stepped down from his position as the Australian vice-captain.

In the major shock to many, Smith admitted to ball tampering on the third day of the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town.
