Ashish Nehra backs Smith, Warner to play IPL
New Delhi, March 26 (CRICKETNMORE) - Reacting to the recent ball-tampering controversy in the South Africa-Australia Test series, former Indian pacer Ashish Nehra, while being critical of the incident, felt that banning skipper Steve Smith and his deputy David Warner from the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be "too harsh".
Hailing Smith for accepting his team's mistake, Nehra said no team can afford to miss such valuable assets like Smith and Warner, adding that the issue should now be left behind.
