‘Stinks of a cover up’: David Warner fans flames with new sandpapergate claim

Former Australia vice-captain David Warner has claimed that bowlers Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, and Mitchell Starc were not interviewed by Cricket Australia as part of its 2018 investigation into the Cape Town sandpaper scandal. Warner, posting on social media, described the inquiry as a 'shoddy investigation' that 'stinks of a cover up.' The original scandal involved Cameron Bancroft being caught using sandpaper to tamper with the ball during the third Test against South Africa, an incident that resulted in bans for Warner, Bancroft, and then-captain Steve Smith.
