Cricket Australia Makes Call on Ball-Tampering Review
Todd Greenberg said the 2018 probe was thorough and that differing player recollections make a new inquiry unlikely to change the findings.
- On Tuesday, Usman Khawaja released his memoir, Sabr, alleging the entire Australian squad knew about sandpaper usage during the 2018 South Africa tour, including in the Port Elizabeth Test.
- The 2018 ball-tampering scandal at Cape Town resulted in suspensions for captain Steve Smith, David Warner, and Cameron Bancroft, with Cricket Australia's investigation concluding only those three were aware of the plot.
- Warner supported Khawaja on Monday, labeling the original Cricket Australia investigation "rushed and botched" and claiming Khawaja's comments in his book were "100 per cent accurate."
- Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg ruled out reopening the probe on Tuesday, telling SEN the organization remains "comfortable" with its original findings.
- Khawaja rejected speculation that he "used sandpaper for my book sales," insisting he had total control over the manuscript and the project was not motivated by financial gain.
