West Indies tour of Australia 2022

Former Australia Test cricket captain Michael Clarke has lambasted his country's cricket board, Cricket Australia (CA) for their messy handling of David Warner's captaincy ban and accused the governing body of double standards. The trio of Australia's Warner, then captain Steve Smith and opener Cameron Bancroft were caught in the infamy of sandpaper gate in South Africa, in 2018. But it was only the Delhi Capitals' opener who got the short end of the stick with a lifetime captaincy ban.

The Sandpapergate gets more fodder added to it after David Warner's manager reveals stirring news that the players were allegedly given permission to tamper with the ball by unnamed officials some 16 months prior to the Cape Town scandal in 2018.
