Top 5 instances of players being led into blunders by their captains

#1 Cameron Bancroft (Captain: Steve Smith)

The future looks gloomy for Bancroft

There's little you can do when you are just 25, have played just 8 matches and your captain and vice-captain ask you to do something.

Cameron Bancroft, the right-handed opener, came across a promising talent. He was selected into the team after the team had a series of dismal performances. He looked set to play long for Australia.

However, the recent ball-tampering saga that shook the whole world, has put his career in jeopardy. He was directed by Warner to tamper with the ball and everything was done with Steve Smith's consent. He has been banned by Cricket Australia for 9 months. With age on his side, he can still make a comeback in future. However, the blot on his integrity will take time to fade off.
