David Warner and Steve Smith have been handed year-long bans by Cricket Australia for cheating against South Africa.
The pair were sanctioned for their roles in the ball tampering scandal, which has embroiled Australian cricket since Saturday.
Smith and Warner were stood down as captain and vice captain after they ordered Cameron Bancroft to ball tamper with a piece of yellow tape during the third Test against South Africa.
