Story summary

Cricket Australia chief Todd Greenberg has stated that the organization will not conduct another investigation into the 2018 Sandpapergate scandal. This decision follows the release of the book Sabr by Usman Khawaja, who claimed in the text that the entire team was aware of the ball-tampering. Khawaja specifically asserted that the team began using sandpaper on the ball during the Test match prior to the game in Cape Town, where Bancroft was filmed tampering with the ball. In response to these claims, Starc noted there were "differing opinions" regarding the situation. While Cummins expressed a hope that his answers would end the controversy, reports suggest the "sandpaper war" continues to cause internal friction. The situation escalated further when Warner publicly stated that the ball-tampering investigation "stinks of a cover-up." These conflicting accounts have led to calls for the sport to stop "eating itself" as the debate over the 2018 events persists.
