Steve Smith broke down during the conference and said: "I'm deeply sorry. I love the game of cricket. I love entertaining young kids ... I just want to say sorry for the pain I've brought to Australia, to the fans and the public".
There was a failure of leadership, of my leadership. I'll do everything I can to make up for my mistake and the damage it's caused.
Crisis engulfing Australian cricket claimed another casualty later Thursday when the team's head coach Darren Lehmann announced that he is stepping down at the end of the final Test match of the series against South Africa
Vice-captain David Warner, who was also stripped of his leadership position, posted an apology on social media to "cricket fans in Australia and all over the world" ahead of his arrival, in which he said "mistakes have been made."
He tweeted: "I apologize for my part and take responsibility for it... It's a stain on the game we all love and I have loved since I was a boy."
