Cricket Australia will not open another investigation into ‘sandpapergate’

Cricket Australia declines new investigation into sandpapergate, signaling regulatory closure.

What happened: Cricket Australia chief Todd Greenberg ruled out reopening the "sandpapergate" investigation after Usman Khawaja and David Warner said Why it matters: Greenberg said Khawaja's book contains details that contradict other accounts, but CA is comfortable with the original investigation's outcome and sees no compelling reason to revisit it. Key numbers: The incident came to light during the 2018 Cape Town Test. CA imposed bans and penalties on Warner, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft four days later. Khawaja's book, Sabr, was published about eight years after the incident.
