Former Australian captain Michael Clarke has let loose on Cricket Australia and warned them against trying to sweep allegations made by David Warner’s manager “under the carpet”.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Clarke urged CA officials to address the allegations that they knew about the ball tampering in South Africa years ago, “because this isn’t going away”.

Warner’s veteran manager James Erskine sensationally alleged on Thursday CA told players to tamper with the ball to make it reverse swing, more than a year before they were busted doing so in Cape Town.
