Former Australian player Michael Clarke has questioned Hume’s comments about the ball-fixing scandal. He praised him for his good performance in various games and confirmed that his timing was not accurate.

I think it’s right at the end of the World Cup, not in the middle of the World Cup, because there are other players. He’s in the squad who doesn’t want to talk about it now, but he There was a part of what he was talking about.
Finch, on the other hand, was shocked by Warner’s comments and agreed with Clarke.
“Pup [as Clark] said, just for a while … I thought this was a little strange,” he said.
Also, Usman Khawaja mentioned the change in Warner’s performance since the Test in January.
“He has been told by the coaching staff and the people around him at a certain point to play a certain way. You have seen something very different since David Warner came back in 2019,” he said.
