After Cameron Bancroft, who was 1 of the 3 Australians majorly&nbsp;involved in the 2018 Sandpaper Gate saga, recently made a shocking revelation that bowlers were also aware about altering the condition of the ball in the infamous Test vs South Africa, Cricket Australia is now open to reinvestigate the matter.
After Bancroft's comments, the Aussie board made an appeal to the cricketing fraternity, asking people to contact the board if they have any new evidence related to the ball-tampering scandal.
CA though added that the investigation conducted at the time was detailed and comprehensive and no one has presented new information to them that casts doubt on the investigation&rsquo;s findings since then.

While&nbsp;Leicester won their first FA Cup final in 5 attempts,&nbsp;Chelsea have become the first team in 32 years to lose the FA Cup final in consecutive seasons.

Over 3 years after the infamous ball-tampering scandal that rocked the world of cricket, Aussie cricketer&nbsp;Cameron Bancroft has made a startling revelation. In an interview to the Guardian, Bancroft who is currently playing County Cricket in England said that it was "self-explanatory" that bowlers in the Test team had to be aware the ball was being tampered with. Bancroft along with then captain Steve Smith &amp; David Warner were found guilty of tampering with the ball and were banned from the sport for a long duration by Cricket Australia. The board though was in damage control and prevented the fire from spreading as it concluded that only Bancroft, Warner &amp; Smith knew about the tampering. The new admission from Bancroft is now likely to open a can of worms.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, WV Raman&nbsp;the outgoing head coach of the Women's team in a scathing letter to BCCI&nbsp;president Sourav&nbsp;Ganguly&nbsp;and National Cricket Academy Chief Rahul&nbsp;Dravid&nbsp;called out the attitude with which women's cricket is run in the country. According to PTI, in the strongly-worded mail, Raman&nbsp;not only presented a roadmap&nbsp;for the future of women's cricket but also slammed the Prima donna culture in the system.&nbsp;

An online petition calling for the Tokyo Olympics to be cancelled has been submitted to the Tokyo government with over 350,000 signatures on Friday morning.

WV Raman was replaced as the coach of the Indian Women's Cricket team as former cricketer Romesh Power took charge on Thursday. But the change in a coach

WV Raman&nbsp;was replaced as the coach of the Indian Women's&nbsp;Cricket team as former cricketer Romesh&nbsp;Power took charge on Thursday. But the change in a coach who led the team to the World T20 final last year has now opened a can of worms. The two parties in question are&nbsp;the Madan Lal-headed Cricket Advisory Committee and Neetu David-led selection panel. Powar&nbsp;interestingly was removed as the coach of the women's team in 2018 and this will be his 2nd stint as the top boss.&nbsp;According to PTI, a total of 8 interviews were conducted and the selection committee had made up their minds to pick Powar even before the process started. Reports suggest that WV Raman had a fallout with the selection committee during the recently concluded home series vs South Africa which saw many players being dropped from the squad. Many big stars like Shafali Verma and pacer Shikha Pandey were dropped from various formats which baffled everyone.

Two arrests were made for public order offences, but police did not interfere with the protests even though large crowds are prevented by coronavirus restrictions
