'We know we made a monumental mistake': David Saker unsure what CA will find out if Sandpaper Gate is reinvestigated

Hindustan Times  

David Saker, Australia's bowling coach in 2018, at the time of the Sandpaper Gate, said on Sunday that is he is unsure of fruitful findings and results if the incident is investigated again. Bancroft, who was caught on camera rubbing the ball with sandpaper before shoving it in his pants during the 2018 Test against South Africa in Cape Town, was handed a six-month ban for his role in the scandal that rocked Cricket Australia. The CA found captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner also involved in the scandal and both the cricketers were also handed a 12-month ban for their roles. Yeah, obviously what I did benefits bowlers and the awareness around that, probably, is self-explanatory," Bancroft said to the Guardian interviewer Donald McRae as reported by ESPNcricinfo.
