Coach Justin Langer hopes a policy of "elite honesty" will help transform Australian cricket and win back the trust of the public.
The ball-tampering controversy and the subsequent scathing review into Cricket Australia's culture has left the sport in this country reeling.
Australian players will be aiming to put the drama aside when they take on South Africa in Sunday's ODI series opener at Perth Stadium.
Langer has been a breath of fresh air for Australian cricket since taking over as head coach in May.
But he's also been forced to deal with a glut of negative headlines due to the fallout of the Cape Town ball-tampering scandal that resulted in the suspensions of Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft.
CA chairman David Peever was the latest high-profile casualty when he quit his post on Thursday.
Langer has been left saddened by the crisis rocking Australian cricket, but he is determined to turn things around.
A players' pact is now in place to help players behave in a manner that protects the tradition of the sport.
Langer has also implemented an elite honesty policy.
The use of the adjective "elite" has copped some flak on social media, with some pundits asking why plain old honesty wasn't enough.
Langer has previously used the term "elite mateship", and he said the elite honesty was another concept that would form an important part of his side's culture.
"The Aussie way as I know it is to look a bloke in the eye, look your sister or you mum in the eyes, and tell them the truth and be happy to get some truth back," Langer said.
"That's elite honesty. And you need to be honest with yourself because if you're not you're kidding yourself."
Langer hopes some strong on-field results will help win over the Australian public again after what has been a tough period.
"It's sad, isn't it. Everyone seems to be at each other. There's lots of criticism," Langer said of the atmosphere surrounding Australian cricket at the moment.
"But we've got such a proud history of Australian cricket.
"We've had a few hiccups along the way, not just in the last six or 12 months.
"One thing sport can do and the Australian cricket can do is put smiles on faces rather than everyone throwing stones and shooting guns at each other."
Langer said he was honoured after the unveiling of the Justin Langer stand at the southern end of Perth Stadium on Saturday.
"It's an unbelievable feeling," Langer said.
"Most importantly my family and my friends are so proud of this and at the end of the day when I started playing the game it was to make my mum and dad proud.
"I know my mum who isn't here with us any more, she'd be bawling her eyes out.
"It might start raining a little while because she might be crying down when she sees this."
