David Warner responded by questioning Hick's appointment, suggesting he was hired only because Cricket Australia refused to pay Michael Di Venuto a fair salary. Khawaja's recent memoir, Sabr, reignited the controversy by suggesting the dressing room knew more about the incident than previously acknowledged.
