Cricket Australia has ruled out reopening the investigation into the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, commonly known as "Sandpapergate," despite recent claims by former Test opener Usman Khawaja.
The governing body confirmed its position on November 10, 2026, maintaining that the matter remains closed. Khawaja's allegations have drawn support from former teammate David Warner, who was central to the original controversy and served a 12-month ban for his role in the incident during the Cape Town Test against South Africa.
