Suspended Australian batsman David Warner could be set to reveal more details of the infamous ball-tampering episode during the South Africa series in a million-dollar television interview.

The former Australia vice-captain drew a lot of criticism on social media for leaving many questions unanswered during his tearful press conference on Saturday. The left-hander had later taken to social media to apologise for evading certain questions and had said that they would all be answered in due course.

There are now some reports in the Australian media that Warner could try to financially leverage the ball-tampering episode to recoup some of the massive earnings he is set to lose after being handed a 12-month ban by Cricket Australia.

“It’s worth noting that he had the high profile Sydney PR woman Roxy Jacenko with him on the day sitting with his wife Candice at the press conference,” veteran journalist David Penberthy told Adelaide radio station FIVEaa.

“One of the reasons apparently that Warner didn’t answer so many questions is that he’s keeping his powder dry for a tell all interview — part of the strategy that is being spearheaded by Roxy Jacenko.

“He’s taken a six million dollar hit in terms of his earnings. He can recoup at least a million of that from the Nine network or Seven network.

“That’s apparently why he’s keeping his mouth shut when he’s being asked obvious questions.”

“Meanwhile, Jacenko has reacted to the reports and has denied them categorically.

Next I’ll be blamed for providing the sandpaper — that’s about the only thing left!” Jacenko told The Australia.

“Candice is a dear friend, thus my support, but I am not their PR.”

It is not yet known whether Warner will attempt to contest the ban handed out to him by Cricket Australia. Steve Smith on the other hand, confirmed on Wednesday that he will seek to appeal the 12-month cricket ban handed out to him.
