Cricket Australia rules out reopening ‘Sandpapergate’ inquiry despite Khawaja claims

Cricket Australia has ruled out reopening the 'Sandpapergate' inquiry despite renewed claims from Usman Khawaja that the entire Australian team was aware of the ball-tampering plot. David Warner, who was one of the players sanctioned in the original scandal, has backed Khawaja's assertions. The announcement was reported on November 10, 2026, with Cricket Australia effectively closing the door on any further investigation into the incident.
