Cape Town: Australia captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner have stepped down from their positions for the rest of the third Test against South Africa a day after admitting to ball tampering.
Smith said on Saturday that the team's "leadership group" had spoken about a plan to tamper with the ball, carried out by batsman Cameron Bancroft.
Both Smith and Warner will take the field though, with Tim Paine, the wicket-keeper, standing in as captain for the remainder of the Test.
The decision comes on the back of the ongoing ball-tampering issue, with Cameron Bancroft caught on cameras using what is believed to be sandpaper before attempting to hide the object on the third day of the Cape Town Test.
Tim Paine will be captain for the rest of the match, although Smith and Warner will continue to play.
Smith and Bancroft admitted to the offence after play on the day, and Bancroft was charged by the International Cricket Council.
The match is into its fourth day.
"This Test match needs to proceed, and in the interim we will continue to investigate this matter with the urgency that it demands," said Cricket Australia chief James Sutherland.
"Cricket Australia and Australian cricket fans expect certain standards of conduct from cricketers representing our country, and on this occasion these standards have not been met.
"All Australians, like us, want answers and we will keep you updated on our findings, as a matter of priority,"
