David Warner has accused Cricket Australia of sweeping the India A ball-tampering allegations under the carpet, suggesting officials had quickly “squashed” the issue before the Test summer. Warner officially declared closure on his own ball-tampering scandal on Wednesday, after being announced as the Sydney Thunder’s new BBL captain. His appointment comes just a fortnight after his lifetime leadership ban was lifted, removing the last remaining sanction from Australia’s 2018 ball-tampering saga.
“But if the umpires deemed something happened, I am sure there will be a follow-up. “I think the umpires or the match referee should be standing here answering questions.” Asked if it should be irrelevant that India were coming out for five Tests this summer, Warner said: “That’s what I am saying.” “I think the match referee should be coming out and addressing his own staff, which are the umpires,” he went on. “And if they’re sticking by the umpire’s decisions, you have to stand up for that.
