UAE (Pakistan Point News / Online - 18th March, 2019) Steve Smith and David Warner have met with their Australia teammates in the United Arab Emirates to smooth the ground for their return to international cricket when their bans expire at the end of the month.The former Test captain and vice-captain were suspended for 12 months for their roles in a ball-tampering scandal in South Africa last March and have not been allowed to play top-level cricket since.While Australia have struggled without their two best batsmen, questions have been raised over how easily they would re-integrate into the squad for the one-day World Cup and Ashes tour of England.Coach Justin Langer appeared to have no such qualms after meeting with the pair ahead of the one-day series against Pakistan that starts on Friday in Sharjah.
