Australian Cricket is going through a bit of turmoil at the moment. David Warner’s Manager James Erskine has made a huge claim that ball-tampering was quite common till the 2018 infamous saga.  David Warner who recently appealed to overturn his leadership ban has withdrawn stating that CA wanted to do public lynching for his 2018 act.

Australian fans would be devastated after seeing these events. Australia is considered to be one of the most prestigious Tests-playing nations that have a great pedigree. But once again, now questions are being raised over the team’s dynamics and preparations.

CA CEO Nick Hockley on James Erskine

Nick Hockley was having an interaction with SEN Radio and was asked about Warner’s manager’s comments.

“I think they’re really unhelpful and unfounded comments. I think as an investigation was done at the time – but I think it’s been said repeatedly, if new information is to be brought forward then as with any matter of integrity there are those avenues to bring forward information at any stage,” said Hockley.
