The Sandpaper scandal has re-surfaced again and rocked Australian cricket with one of the accused Cameron Bancroft making a sensational claim which suggested that bowlers were aware of the proceedings on the field. This has led to vociferous reactions from former players and analysts forcing Cricket Australia to take notice of the matter. While ball tampering using various methods has been prevalent in cricket for long, it again came to the forefront during the infamous Cape Town Test of 2018. One major outcome of this whole Sandpaper Gate controversy seems to be on the hesitation of the bowlers to work on the ball to enable it to reverse swing, making the art almost extinct from world cricket.
