MELBOURNE (Reuters) -There were more people involved in the Newlands ball-tampering scandal than just David Warner, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft, Warner's manager said on Thursday.

James Erskine told Australian radio that opener Warner had "protected" his team mates on his advice after 'Sandpaper-gate' erupted in South Africa in March 2018.
