New Delhi: These days the Australian team is playing a Test series against the West Indies (AUS vs WI Test Series). But, in the meantime, a controversy has created a stir in Cricket Australia. David Warner had earlier applied to lift the captaincy ban imposed on him after the ball-tampering case, but has now withdrawn it. David Warner, in his long statement, made several allegations against the board, but now things have gone too far. David Warner’s manager James Erskine has made several big revelations in an interview.
Warner’s manager has claimed that during a Test match in 2016, two Cricket Australia officials openly asked players to tamper with the ball so that Australia could win the Test match. There has been a stir in the cricket world after this claim. Warner’s manager James Erskine said in an interview that, “If the truth comes to light, the names of many big players will come to the fore, when everyone will say why David Warner was framed like this.”
James further said, ‘In the year 2016 against South Africa, the Australian team was all out on 85 and lost the match by an innings margin. During this match, two officials of the Australian Cricket Board came to the dressing room and advised the team to reverse swing the ball by tempering the ball, so that they could win the match.
Not only this, James Erskine also revealed that, ‘When this whole ball tampering controversy was going on, David Warner’s family was very upset at that time. At that time, Warner’s wife Candice had also lost a child during this period, which was a big blow to the family.
