I'm not sure Smith will be. To be selected again, all 3 will need some solid Shield form behind them before they are considered which will be at least 18 months away. Also being the former captain, i can see the selectors not wanting Smith in the dressing room potentially undermining the future Australian captain.
Warner is done and has possibly destroyed his potential earnings on the t20 circuit.
Bancroft is probably the best chance of getting back into the side but even then i would say their slim.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if they were all blacklisted by CA.

Just seen Smiths interview, fair play to him he has taken responsibility and you can’t ask more than that.
I’m sure he will be back, I don’t see Smith after this being someone who would cause issues in the dressing room. He knows he has f**ked up and I think he would just grasp the opportunity to play for his nation again in any form that it takes.
I actually feel really sorry for the guy, but there has to be consequences and I still think CA have got it right.

Just seen that as well I too feel sorry for him he knows he’s made the biggest mistake of his life and he’s feeling it. I’m happy with the punishment as the ICC’s was a joke. I hope he comes back better and stronger in 12months Time.
