\n\nA day after defending Usman Khawaja, David Warner has launched an attack on Cricket Australia and claimed that the board didn't interview bowlers Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon. While Warner didn't claim that the bowlers knew about ball tampering, he questioned why CA was pushing the idea that the aforementioned players didn't know about ball tampering. Recently, Khawaja claimed that the whole Australian team knew about Cameron Bancroft using sandpaper during the infamous Newlands Test against South Africa.
\n\n"As far as I am aware, CA did not interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc or Nathan Lyon in their 2018 investigation. If that’s correct, then how can CA push the idea that the bowlers didn’t know? 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," Warner wrote on Instagram.
\n\nWarner was among the three players banned by CA. He and Steve Smith were banned for a year each while Bancroft was sanctioned for nine months.
