Australian opening batsman Cameron Bancroft could face tampering claims after being spoken to by umpires about an object in his pocket during today's play in the third Test against South Africa.
Television footage appeared to show Bancroft take on object out of his pocket while fielding on the third day of the Test at Newlands.
He was then seen tucking the object down the front of his trousers before he spoke to on-field umpires Nigel Llong and Richard Illingworth.
Shane Warne, the Australian spin bowling great, said on Twitter he was "very disappointed" by the pictures and called on Australia captain Steve Smith to clear up the "mess" in the post-play press conference.
