MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Cricket Australia have been branded as "arrogant" and "controlling" and accused of treating its elite players like commodities, allowing "alpha-male" egos to develop a win-at-all-costs approach, according to a wide-ranging report on Monday.

CA commissioned the review of its organisation and the men's team after a ball-tampering scandal in South Africa earlier this year threw the team into turmoil. Captain Steve Smith, vice-captain David Warner and batsman Cameron Bancroft were banned for their roles in the scandal.
