# Cricket: Australian batter Steve Smith says memories of the 2018 ball-tampering scandal still return as he prepares to play a Test series in South Africa for the first time since the incident. He says the sound of camera flashes can trigger memories of the fallout during the third Test in Cape Town, which saw him banned for a year and stripped of the captaincy. Smith says he has moved on and will use any hostile reception as motivation when the Test series starts on 9 October.
