Chairman of Indian Premier League Rajeev Shukla on Tuesday stated that the committee has written to Cricket Australia and are waiting for their reply regarding the ball tampering row. Shukla said that if they punish the cricketers accused in the scandal then the IPL will also think on those lines. Australia captain Steve Smith has been handed a one-match suspension and fined 100 per cent of his match fee following the ball-tampering scandal during the third day's play against South Africa. Smith has stepped down as the captain of Rajasthan Royals for the IPL 2018 season.
