One of the most controversial incidents in world cricket happened in the form of the ball tampering incident that happened in 2018 in the test match between South Africa and Australia.

Crucial players for Australia, including David Warner and Steven Smith were suspended from Cricket for multiple years as they were confirmed to have practised ball tampering which is against the rules.

However, there was a recent comment from Cricket Australia that certain bowlers, including Josh Hazelwood, Mitchell Stark and Nithin Lyon had no idea of the ball tempering incident.

This has now invited a strong reaction from David Warner, as he said the entire investigation was very questionable, and the narrative was built to push the blame on only certain players.

While saying that the Cricket Australia board had carried out the 2018 investigation in a very shoddy manner, Warner further claimed “It looks like they had decided who they wanted to blame from the very beginning ran a shoddy investigation to serve the purpose and now they want to maintain the false narrative that the bowlers had no idea.”

This is a pretty sharp comment that has been made by David Warner and it has to be seen how this scenario would end up further with more and more players continuing to make revelations on this matter.
