The controversy, often referred to as "sandpaper-gate," occurred during a Test match against South Africa in Cape Town. The incident led to severe international fallout, resulting in long suspensions for Warner and then-captain Steve Smith, as well as the departure of coach Darren Lehmann.
According to BBC News, Warner's recent claims center on the scope and transparency of the inquiry conducted by cricket authorities at the time, renewing scrutiny over how the investigation into the use of sandpaper on the ball was handled.
