Warner issues new statement on scandal: ‘Stinks of a cover up’
Warner says Cricket Australia failed to interview key bowlers and used a shoddy probe to preserve a false narrative about the 2018 scandal.
- On Saturday, David Warner claimed via Instagram that Cricket Australia failed to interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, or Nathan Lyon during the 2018 Cape Town Test investigation.
- Usman Khawaja's memoir, Sabr, alleged the entire team knew of the sandpaper plot, prompting Pat Cummins to dismiss the claims on Friday as "complete and utter nonsense."
- Warner doubled down, stating the probe "stinks of a cover-up" and alleging officials ran a "shoddy investigation" to "maintain the false narrative that the bowlers had no idea."
- Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg has ruled out launching a fresh investigation into the saga, maintaining the organization's position despite mounting criticism.
- This public spat marks the latest escalation in a week-long "cricket civil war," as Warner continues to support Khawaja against the organization regarding the eight-year-old incident.
