March 29 (Reuters) - Reaction after deposed Australian captain Steve Smith, opening batsman Cameron Bancroft and coach Darren Lehmann held news conferences in the wake of last week's ball-tampering scandal in Cape Town. MATT PRIOR, former England wicketkeeper "Fair play Bancroft and Steve Smith taking it head on and fronting up. That was hard to watch and can't imagine what they're going through. People make mistakes but being able to own up and take responsibility takes guts." HERSCHELLE GIBBS, former South Africa batsman "Hard scenes watching the interviews with the 2 ozzie (sic) blokes. Having been through it all, take it on the chin and live with the consequences but remain true to yourself." MICHAEL VAUGHAN, former England captain "'Good people make mistakes'.. I honestly think Steve Smith & Cam Bancroft are decent guys who had a moment of madness.. they deserve a 2nd chance and hopefully get the right support around them now ... Takes a lot guts to do what they did today." MITCHELL JOHNSON, former Australia bowler "Tough to watch Cameron & Steve go through the 2 statements they just made. They will learn from this & be better in the future I'm sure!" MARK BUTCHER, former England batsman "Just watched Smith presser. Hope everybody has had their pound of flesh now." KEVIN PIETERSEN, former England batsman "Just seen @stevesmith49's press conference. As a parent, I'm gutted for him & his family! Shout me down if you want, but I'm speaking as a parent! It will get better mate!" MICHAEL CLARKE, former Australia captain "DEVASTATING!" HARSHA BHOGLE, Indian cricket commentator "Haven't Australia made enough of a spectacle of Steve Smith? I'm blown by what he is being put through." RYAN HARRIS, [http://wiki.unitiperblevio.it/Sample_Article wiki.unitiperblevio.it] former Australia test bowler "So very hard to watch, well done Smithy and Bangas, horrible to see the pain they are in! They did wrong but will be back bigger and better! #goodyoungmen" MOHAMMAD KAIF, former India batsman "Feel the pain he (Smith) is going through. Waiting for him to come back soon and cause delight to fans across the world with his supreme batsmanship. Remember Warne served a 1 year ban for a banned substance and came back with 26 wkts in 3 tests against SL." MICHAEL DI VENUTO, former Australia batsman "Absolutely shattering watching these press conferences. Not hard to tell what type of people these guys are. Cricket Aus losing some great people through one poor choice. #human #forgive." SACHIN TENDULKAR, former India batsman "They are regretting and hurting and will have to live with the consequences of their act. Spare a thought for their families as they have much to endure along with the players. Time for all of us to take a step back and give them some space." SHOAIB AKHTAR, former Pakistan bowler "At least Steve Smith has the courage to admit like a man but absolutely gutted to see Steve Smith breaking down... and also the way people (are) treating him @ Airport & in Australia. It's sad, leave that poor chap alone now." (Compiled by Shrivathsa Sridhar in Bengaluru, editing by Pritha Sarkar)

Ibrahim Iqbal, pictured, 15, is feared to have become an ISIS fighter after posting an image of himself holding what appears to be an AK47 on Facebook Posing with an AK47 and pledging his allegiance to the [/news/isis/index.html Islamic State], this is the schoolboy who was feared to have fled to Syria with 11 members of his family. Ibrahim Iqbal was 14 when he disappeared from his Bradford home last year with his brothers Junaid, 15, and Ismaeel, three, and sisters Mariya, five, and Zaynab, eight. Their mother Sugra Dawood, now 35, took her children and went - without her husband Akhtar Iqbal - to Syria, where her jihadi brother Ahmed had been for more than a year. Sugra was joined by her sisters Zohra Dawood, now 33, and Khadija Dawood, now 31, and their four children, making them the largest British family to flee to the war-torn country. In June last year, factory worker Mr Iqbal made an emotional appeal to his son Junaid, saying: ‘If you watch this video, please ring me, please contact me. I love you, all of you. Please, please come back home so we can live a normal life.' But last night it appeared that his two eldest boys had become Islamic State fighters after pictures of them brandishing AK47 assault rifles while wearing ammunition belts surfaced online. Ibrahim, now 15, posted pictures of himself and what appeared to be his brother Junaid, now 16, on the same Facebook account he used as a schoolboy in Bradford. He also posted pictures of a gun, ammunition, grenades and other weapons. Scroll down for video Ibrahim also posted pictures of weapons and ammunition and urged Muslims 'to wage jihad in the UK' This picture appears to show some of the Dawood family at the airport leaving the UK for Saudi Arabia. Pictured are Junaid Ahmed Iqbal, [http://ads.jallohenterprise.com/user/profile/11004 http://ads.jallohenterprise.com/user/profile/11004] Ibrahim Iqbal, Zaynab Iqbal, Ismaeel Iqbal and Mariya Iqbal Ibrahim pledged his allegiance to IS leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi and also urged fellow Muslims in the UK to wage jihad back home. On Friday, he posted: ‘First of all I say Alhamdulillah [praise be to God] Allah has brought me to the khilafah [Caliphate] and saved me from the oppression of the Kuffar [disbeliever]. ‘Secondly, I say to all the Muslims that there is no land where you will be honoured except in the land of the khilafah and it is obligatory for every Muslim to come to the khilafah and pledge your allegiance to amir al mumineen [commander of the faithful] Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi and who ever does not the[n] he dies the death of jaahiliyah [non-Muslims]. From left, clockwise, Junaid Ahmed Iqbal, Ibrahim Iqbal, Ismaeel Iqbal and Zaynab Iqbal are believed to be in Syria Last of all, if the government closes the door of migrating to the khilafah then you open the door of jihad in their land.' Last night, he posted: ‘Nobody has an excuse to be not fighting in the path of Allah. Physically fighting not in your mind as some stupid people say.'

They were originally thought to have gone on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, but while in Saudia Arabia they boarded flights to Istanbul in Turkey instead of returning home to Bradford. From Istanbul it is believed they made their way across the country to the Syrian border. [ ] Ismaeel Iqbal and Mariya Iqbal are pictured with suitcases behind them at what was believed to be an airport before they disappeared last year Sisters Sugra Dawood 34, Zohra Dawood, 33, and Khadija Dawood, 30, travelled to Saudi Arabia for a pilgrimage with their nine children, including (from left) Zaynab Iqbal, Ismaeel Iqbal and Mariya Iqbal It is thought that Sugra was gradually persuaded in regular Skype calls with her younger brother Ahmed - who had been inside IS for a year - that ‘what Islamic State is standing for is right'. She in turn seems to have signed up her younger sisters Khadija and Zohra, who fled with her children Haafiyah, eight, and Nurah, five. Last night, Mohammed Shoaib, the husband of Khadija, who fled with their two children, Muhammad Haseeb, five, and Maryam Siddiqui, seven, condemned his nephews' actions. The sales adviser said: ‘I have had no contact with them. I haven't seen the pictures so I have no idea… but obviously if they've done this… I am against them. They're wrong and we condemn them.' adverts.addToArray("pos":"inread_player")Advertisement
