London, April 22: Former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff feels former Australia captain Steve Smith took the blame for the infamous ball-tampering scandal that rocked Australian cricket in 2018. Then-skipper Smith, his deputy David Warner and opener Cameron Bancroft were handed respective bans for their part in the Cape Town controversy.

Smith and Warner were banned from the game for one year each while Bancroft was suspended for nine months by Cricket Australia (CA). Smith and Warner were hit with further leadership bans as well, however, Flintoff believes the whole team must have been part of the incident one way or the other.
