Summary Cricket Australia issued a statement saying it remained satisfied with the investigation previously conducted into the incident

(Web Desk) – Cricket Australia has decided against reopening its investigation into the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, maintaining that there are no compelling reasons to revisit the case.

Cricket Australia Chief Executive Todd Greenberg said there was little benefit in going back over past events, adding that the board believed the matter should now be put behind it.

He stressed that the time had come to look ahead, saying the board's position on the issue remained clear.

Greenberg also said Australian captain Pat Cummins would speak on the matter soon.

The development comes after former Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja made fresh revelations about the ball-tampering controversy and spoke in his own defence.

Following Khawaja's comments, Cricket Australia issued a statement saying it remained satisfied with the investigation previously conducted into the incident.
