Khawaja 100% accurate on ball-tampering – Warner

David Warner has endorsed Usman Khawaja’s account of Australia’s 2018 ball-tampering scandal, saying it is “100% accurate”. Warner also criticised Cricket Australia’s investigation as rushed and inadequate, renewing calls for accountability and transparency over what the team knew.

Australia was found to have used sandpaper on the ball during the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town. Warner and Steve Smith were banned for a year, while Cameron Bancroft received a nine-month ban; Khawaja says the whole team knew, although four bowlers have consistently denied knowing about the plan. Cricket Australia says relevant information can still be presented, but has not announced a new investigation.
