Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc has stated he had no prior awareness of the ball-tampering incident during the 2018 tour of South Africa. His comments follow recent assertions by former teammate Usman Khawaja, who alleged that the wider squad was aware of the scheme.
Cricket Australia has confirmed it has no intentions of launching a new inquiry into the controversy. Additional information is anticipated to emerge as this developing story continues.
Further updates regarding the statements from both players and the governing body are expected as the situation progresses.
