IPL 2018: BCCI rules out David Warner, Steve Smith's participation in season 11
The extent of punishments for the pair means that they will be unavailable for the Indian Premier League, having stepped down from the captaincy responsibilities already. The sanctions mean that both Warner and Smith will also be unavailable for India's tour of Down Under later this year. Speaking to Times Now, BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Chaudhary also confirmed that both Smith and Warner will be ineligible to play in the Indian Premier League.
