“I would want to see good cricket for sure (in Australia). They both (Smith and Warner) are world-class players. So I don’t want to get into that debate whether the ban should be reduced or not,” before adding, “But I would like to see them, but by no means I am saying or interfering in what their judgment has been. All I am saying in both are world class players,” said Tendulkar.
