Warner claims 2018 ball-tampering investigation 'stinks of a cover-up'

David Warner has publicly accused Cricket Australia (CA) of a 'cover-up' in their 2018 investigation into the Newlands ball-tampering scandal, claiming on Instagram that Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Nathan Lyon were never interviewed during the initial inquiry. Warner alleged that CA predetermined who to blame and conducted a 'shoddy investigation' to support a false narrative that the bowlers had no knowledge of the sandpaper incident. CA responded by stating that all players were given the opportunity to speak at the time of the initial investigation.
