Warner says Khawaja got Sandpapergate completely right
Warner backs Khawaja's account of the 2018 ball-tampering scandal. He says it is entirely accurate.
David Warner has backed Usman Khawaja's claims about the 2018 ball-tampering scandal. What Khawaja said is 100 per cent accurate, Warner says.
Khawaja claims the whole Australian cricket team knew about the plot. Warner said the original investigation was rushed and badly done.
Khawaja was not interviewed, even though he sat next to Cameron Bancroft during the match. Warner finds this strange.
Current captain Pat Cummins and other bowlers have always denied knowing about any tampering. Warner defended Khawaja against critics who questioned the timing of his claims.
These claims come ahead of his book release.
