Steve Smith barred from playing in BPL after franchises object
Australian cricketer Steve Smith, who is currently serving a one-year ban from international and Australian domestic cricket for his involvement in ball-tampering, has been barred from the upcoming edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). BPL franchises objected Smith's participating as he was picked by Comilla Victorians from outside the draft, which is against the laws of the tournament.
