'Banning for life from leadership is just fundamentally wrong': Steve Smith baffled with David Warner's lifetime leadership ban

Former Australia Test cricket captain Michael Clarke has lambasted his country's cricket board, Cricket Australia (CA) for their messy handling of David Warner's captaincy ban and accused the governing body of double standards.
