Sydney (Sports Desk): Former Australian opener David Warner has broken his silence on the infamous ball-tampering scandal, fully endorsing the revelations made by Usman Khawaja.
In a video message posted on his social media account, David Warner said that several years had passed since the incident was discussed and that he strongly supported Usman Khawaja's position on the matter.
Earlier, Usman Khawaja made significant revelations about the ball-tampering incident during the Cape Town Test in his autobiography, Patience. He claimed that all team members were aware of the matter.
Addressing Usman Khawaja, Warner said that everything he had revealed was absolutely correct. He thanked him for coming forward and presenting the facts, as people had been waiting for a long time to learn the truth about the incident.
The former Australian batter further said that Khawaja had provided every detail of what happened on that particular day, for which he was grateful.
David Warner also questioned the investigation process, saying that Usman Khawaja was present with Cameron Bancroft but was not interviewed during the investigation. He said this had surprised him.
It is worth mentioning that following the ball-tampering incident, Cricket Australia took disciplinary action against David Warner, Cameron Bancroft and Steve Smith, imposing suspensions on them.
