Former Australia opener David Warner has said that Usman Khawaja is "100% accurate" in his recounting of the national side's ball tampering in the 2018 series with South Africa, according to a BBC News report.
Khawaja's book, released this week, alleged that more than the three players suspended had knowledge of the sandpaper plan, The Guardian reported. The same report said the book's release reignited the 2018 controversy.
The Guardian reported that Cricket Australia will not reopen the investigation into the incident, and that there is no "compelling reason" to establish another inquiry. Khawaja, according to the same report, said the matter has never been about commercial gain.
The Guardian's report also names captain Steve Smith, but the published excerpt available for this story does not say what he said.
The two reports address different parts of the matter. The BBC report centers on Warner's view of Khawaja's account, while The Guardian report centers on Cricket Australia's decision. Neither excerpt says whether Cricket Australia has responded to Warner's comments, and neither names the players the book alleged had knowledge of the plan.
