“But we have said we’re comfortable with the outcome of the তদন্ত based on the information we’ve received,” he added.। “That includes what we’ve seen from Usman, and our position hasn’t changed on that. We don’t see any compelling reason to open the তদন্ত or revisit this again. I don’t think ‌there’s anything that can be gained from that.”। CA imposed bans and other penalties on Warner, former অধিনায়ক Steve Smith and former Test ব্যাটার Cameron Bancroft four days after the incident came to light during the Cape Town Test.।

Khawaja, in extracts from his autobiography published in Australian media, said “open, lighthearted discussions” were held during the দক্ষিণ আফ্রিকা series about ways to scuff up the ball, including by using sandpaper.। He said discussion of tampering was not confined to batters, bowlers or staff but extended throughout the team.। “It was all of us,” Khawaja said in the book, ⁠according to Australian media.।

Warner, who retired from international cricket more than two years ago, ⁠broke his silence about the incident on Monday to throw his support behind Khawaja.। In a video posted on social media, Warner described his former teammate’s account as 100 percent accurate and the CA তদন্ত as “botched” and “rushed”.। The four Australian bowlers who played in the Cape Town Test in 2018 and continue to represent the nation – Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon – issued a joint বিবৃতি in 2021 denying any knowledge of the plot.।

অধিনায়ক Cummins said in South ‌Africa last month that he had spoken to Khawaja about his autobiography and was not concerned about any potential fallout.। “Answered every question a million times. So, yeah, it was dealt with then,” he said.। Some commentators have questioned why Khawaja ‌waited ‌eight years to speak out and accused him of trying to boost sales of his book Sabr.।

Khawaja responded on social media on Tuesday, saying he had no commercial motives.। “I’m very fortunate, I don’t need the money,” he said.।
