After Cummins, Warner slams Australia's bowling trio [Source: AFP]
David Warner has once again ignited the flames of the Sandpaper Gate saga, accusing Cricket Australia of covering up details of the infamous incident during the 2018 Cape Town Test match.
Warner, who has been quite vocal in recent days, dropped a bombshell: Cricket Australia (CA) didn’t interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitch Starc, and Nathan Lyon during the 2018 Sandpaper Gate investigation.
Warner pins blame on CA, drops a huge bombshell
Warner made his allegations on Saturday through his Instagram post, and the comments came in a day after Pat Cummins addressed the allegations made by Usman Khawaja in his book, Sabr.
On Friday, Warner slammed Cummins for throwing Khawaja under the bus, and a day later, he accused CA of hiding the reality.
"As far as I am aware, CA did not interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc or Nathan Lyon in their 2018 investigation, Warner posted to Instagram.
If that's correct, then how can CA push the idea that the bowlers didn't know?
"It looks like they had decided who they wanted to blame from the very beginning ran a shoddy investigation to serve the purpose and now they want to maintain the false narrative that the bowlers had no idea.
The entire timeline explaining the Sandpaper Gate saga
In the 2018 Cape Town Test match between Australia and South Africa, three Australian players, Steve Smith, David Warner, and Cameron Bancroft, were accused of using the Sandpaper on the ball to gain unfair reverse swing.
The incident was caught live on camera, and the Australian trio was banned for one year by Cricket Australia. The incident was dead and buried before Khawaja once again dug it up.
While promoting his book, the former Australian player revealed that the entire Australian team knew about the Sandpaper Gate incident, but no one came forward. Warner, too, supported the claims as the Sandpaper Gate event was brought into the spotlight.
Australian captain Pat Cummins held a press conference on Friday, dismissing all claims as he blamed Khawaja for the mess. However, on Saturday, Warner accused CA, as he posted a message on his Instagram.
