The famous 2018 Sandpapergate controversy has returned to the headlines after Usman Khawaja made fresh claims in his recently released biography, Sabr, suggesting that the entire Australian team knew about the plan to use sandpaper on the ball against South Africa in Cape Town.
Warner raised the issue through a post on his personal Instagram account. He claimed that Cricket Australia did not interview Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon during its 2018 investigation.

The former opener also suggested that Cricket Australia had already decided who should take responsibility for the incident. He believes the investigation was not handled properly and that the board wanted to maintain a story that the bowlers knew nothing about the ball-tampering plan.
It looks like they had decided who they wanted to blame from the very beginning and ran a shoddy investigation to serve the purpose, and now they want to maintain the false narrative that the bowlers had no idea. That stinks of a cover-up."
