Australia's batting coach from the 2018 Test tour of South Africa, Graeme Hick, has labelled claims about ball tampering in Usman Khawaja's new book "absolutely false".

Khawaja's friend and former opening partner, David Warner, replied on social media to take shots at Hick as not being popular with the playing group.

Warner has previously backed Khawaja's claims that the ball tampering was more widely known than just banned trio Warner, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft.

The fallout from Usman Khawaja's 2018 South African tour ball-tampering allegations shows no sign of abating after Australia's former batting coach Graeme Hick weighed in to insist they were "absolutely false".

Hick's strong denial of Khawaja's assertion that the whole team knew of the plan to use sandpaper to alter the state of the ball in the series eight years ago also dragged David Warner back to social media as he launched further barbs at Cricket Australia.

In his new book, former Test batting luminary Khawaja's revelations about the infamous "sandpapergate" tour have received both strong support and vehement denials.

The latest rebuttal of his claims has come from former Zimbabwe-born England batting star Graeme Hick, who joined paceman Mitchell Starc and former head coach Darren Lehmann.

Hick, who worked with the Australia team from 2016 to 2020, told the Sydney Morning Herald: "I have seen the various statements around the coaches and I'm very disappointed with the broad nature of them.

"Khawaja puts it simply: 'It was all of us. Not the batters, not the bowlers, not the staff. All of us'. To me, what Khawaja is implying here is absolutely false.

"In regard to any discussions around the ball-tampering in Port Elizabeth or Cape Town, I will say in true honesty that I did not hear or know anything.

"My first knowledge of all this was, like many, when it appeared on the big screen in Cape Town as I was sat on the outside balcony at the time."

Khawaja's fellow opener Warner, who was one of three players who took the blame for the 2018 "sandpaper" scandal at Cape Town along with captain Steve Smith and batter Cameron Bancroft, has backed Khawaja's stance and thanked him, saying: "It's 100 per cent accurate what you've said. Now everyone knows the truth."

After reading Hick's comments, Warner returned to social media with another post that seemed to imply the English Test player was hardly at the heart of the team as Cricket Australia's appointment after the popular Michael Di Venuto resigned.

"Let's get the facts straight," wrote Warner. "Graeme Hick was only appointed because Cricket Australia was unwilling to pay Michael Di Venuto what he deserved.

"As players, we valued Michael so highly that we even offered to contribute from our own salaries to retain him.

"These discussions were taking place during the New Zealand tour. That alone speaks volumes about how highly we regarded him and how determined we were to keep him involved. Adds to why Graeme has spoken!!"
