Nov 14 : Former Australia opener David Warner on Saturday accused Cricket Australia of orchestrating a cover-up in its Sandpapergate investigation, alleging the governing body ignored key witnesses while seeking to pin blame on three players.
Former Australia batter Usman Khawaja, whose autobiography was published on Tuesday, said last weekend that all the players in the team at Newlands knew about the plot, triggering calls for a new investigation into the incident.
Warner questioned whether fast bowlers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, as well as spinner Nathan Lyon, had been formally interviewed as part of CA's inquiry, which resulted in lengthy bans for Warner, then-captain Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft.
"As far as I am aware, CA did not interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc or Nathan Lyon in their 2018 investigation," Warner said on Instagram.
"If that's correct then how can CA push the idea that the bowlers didn't know?"
The 40-year-old, who earlier this week accused CA of conducting a "rushed" and "botched" probe that found the three punished players solely responsible for the plot, said the governing body had decided from the outset who would take responsibility for the scandal.
