Australia opener David Warner's manager has blamed Cricket Australia (CA) for treating his client as well as Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft 'despicably' and not interviewing other players while investigating a 2018 ball-tampering scandal on the tour of South Africa.

CA banned the trio for involvement in ball-tampering during the Cape Town Test against South Africa. The matter is now being revisited after Bancroft, a greenhorn, told The Guardian that the bowlers may also have known about it.

"The report that was done, they didn't interview all the players. The whole thing was so badly handled, it was a joke," manager James Erskine was quoted as saying by The Age.

"But eventually the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, will come out and I know the whole truth. It doesn't serve any purpose because the Australian public over a period of time got to dislike the Australian team because they didn't behave particularly well," he said.

Erskine said that had Warner, Smith and Bancroft taken any legal action against their ban, they would have won the case since it was very weak.
