Steve Smith has accepted his 12-month sanction from Cricket Australia.

Smith announced he would not challenge the sanction handed down by Cricket Australia for his role in the ball tampering saga.

"I would give anything to have this behind me and be back representing my country," he wrote on Twitter.

"But I meant what I said about taking full responsibility as Captain of the team.

"I won’t be challenging the sanctions. They’ve been imposed by CA to send a strong message and I have accepted them."
