Cricket Australia: 'No reason' to reopen sandpaper investigation, says CEO Todd Greenberg

Todd Greenberg said Cricket Australia sees no compelling reason to reopen the 2018 ball-tampering inquiry despite Usman Khawaja's new claims and David Warner's support.

  • Former Test opener Usman Khawaja released his autobiography, Sabr, on Tuesday, alleging the 2018 ball-tampering plot was common knowledge throughout the Australian team, contradicting official findings.
  • The 2018 Cape Town incident resulted in 12-month bans for captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner, with Test batter Cameron Bancroft receiving a nine-month suspension; Cricket Australia's probe found no other culpable parties.
  • Warner supported Khawaja's claims on Monday, calling them "100 percent accurate," while Test bowler Mitchell Starc maintained his 2021 position, stating his recollection "hasn't changed."
  • Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg ruled out reopening the investigation on Tuesday, stating there is "no compelling reason" to revisit the matter as different players hold "very different views."
  • ODI captain Mitch Marsh is expected to address the controversy as Australia's home cricket season begins, with the ongoing debate highlighting the division in recollections eight years after the incident.
