Gilchrist to Vaughan: Ex-cricketers agree with Bancroft’s controversial revelation on sandpapergate
Most of the foreign cricketers agree with Cameron Bancroft's statement that indicated that the Australian bowlers knew that the ball was tampered with
Cameron Bancroft reignited the ball-tampering controversy when he indicated that it was “self explanatory” that Australian bowlers knew about it. Bancroft’s recent interview with The Guardian prompted responses from former cricketers, Cricket Australia (CA) and others. A few days later, a report by Sydney Herald reveals that Bancroft has backtracked on his claims about the 2018 fiasco when CA contacted him.
“Bancroft, who is playing county cricket in the UK, had responded overnight on Monday in a conciliatory manner and indicated that he did not have significant new information to share with CA,” the newspaper reported.
Even if the 28-year-old tried to douse the flames, it does not seem like we have seen the end of the debate around sandpapergate. CA was stringent in their actions banning senior players David Warner and Steve Smith. It is yet to be seen what actions the board takes after the new developments. Meanwhile, former cricketers have weighed in their opinions on the matter.
