Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg has ruled out reopening the investigation into the 2018 ball-tampering scandal known as "sandpapergate." The decision comes despite ongoing public interest in the affair that led to lengthy bans for former captain Steve Smith, vice-captain David Warner, and batsman Cameron Bancroft.
Greenberg was photographed chatting with former opening batsman Usman Khawaja during a Test match in Brisbane in 2025. The chief executive's stance effectively closes the door on any formal review of the sanctions or the circumstances surrounding the Cape Town incident that shook Australian cricket.
