The mixed fortunes of Australia's last South African touring party

Key points

  • Members of Australia's 2018 touring party to South Africa have had mixed fortunes in the years since, with some reaching new heights and others struggling to regain their earlier form. Steve Smith remains the team's best batter, while Pat Cummins has since captained Australia across several formats.
  • David Warner and Cameron Bancroft found it hard to recover after their suspensions following the ball-tampering scandal. Several players never featured for Australia again, and some have since moved into T20 cricket or coaching roles.
  • Australia now plays its first Test in South Africa since that tour.
