Steve's Smith former team-mate Marcus North says the disgraced Australian cricketer's life has been "turned upside-down."

Smith has lost his place as captain of the side and been banned for 12 months from international and state-cricket for his part in the ball-tampering scandal.

North adds that he believes the bans for Smith along with his team-mates David Warner and Cameron Bancroft from state cricket are "harsh" but says the suspension from playing for Australia is warranted because they've "abused the privilege" of wearing the Baggy Green.
