Australia will play the first match against South Africa on Friday. This is the first time since the Kangaroo team’s controversial tour of 2018, when Australia is visiting South Africa.

On the past tour, Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft were convicted in the ball tampering case and Cricket Australia banned them all. Smith and Warner had to face the disdain of the audience in the World Cup played in England in 2019 and the subsequent Ashes series.

ESPNcricinfo quoted Langer as saying, ‘When Steve Smith and David Warner were both back in the Australian team, the team was restructured in a great way. When a great job was done and made good practice of his South Africa tour in England.

Langer said, “It was a tough tour for both the players and I am proud of the way both of them responded with their bat.” I hope he comes here and performs brilliantly.
