Follow UsCricket Australia on Saturday said that it is open to new information on the 2018 ball-tampering scandal after batsman Cameroon Bancroft hinted that the bowlers in the team during the infamous Newlands Test knew about the plot.
"CA has maintained all along that if anyone is in possession of new information in regards to the Cape Town Test of 2018 they should come forward and present it," a statement read.
"The investigation conducted at the time was detailed and comprehensive. Since then, no one has presented new information to CA that casts doubt on the investigation’s findings."
Bancroft, who was caught on camera hiding a piece of sandpaper in his underpants during the match, was banned from cricket for nine months while the then captain Steven Smith and his deputy David Warner were slapped with one-year bans.
"Yeah, look, all I wanted to do was to be responsible and accountable for my own actions and part. Yeah, obviously what I did benefits bowlers and the awareness around that, probably, is self-explanatory," Bancroft told The Guardian on Friday.
"Uh… yeah, look, I think, yeah, I think it's pretty probably self-explanatory," he added, without naming any of his teammates.
CA's the then head of integrity Iain Roy, cleared everybody else in the touring party of any wrongdoing, after conducting a formal review between third and fourth Tests of the series against South Africa.
The investigation also included interviews with Australian players and support staff in which Roy was accompanied by two ICC integrity officers.
