Simon Katich has rejected Michael Clarke's claims the pair patched things up following an infamous 2009 run-in in the SCG changerooms, saying their relationship is "nonexistent".
Clarke recently released his autobiography, revisiting many controversial chapters in his career and notably insisting he played no part in Katich losing his Cricket Australia contract in 2011.
Katich, speaking on ABC Radio on Sunday, quipped in response the skipper is "obviously trying to sell a book".
He also took a swipe at Clarke for referring to Shane Watson as being part of a tumour on the Australian cricket side, saying it was a "rather ironic" claim.
Clarke claimed a day earlier on ABC he and Katich were "completely fine" and they caught up last summer while both performing commentary duties.
"I haven't changed my point of view on the matter. I said what I said a few years ago. I guess at the moment he's obviously trying to sell a book so it's amazing how more and more of the story comes out," Katich said.
"We've hardly spoken, since it all happened ... (our relationship is) nonexistent"
He was asked if it will be awkward if they cross paths, now that both Clarke and Katich have moved from the field to the commentary box.
"It's a good question, it hasn't happened," Katich said.
Clarke insisted on Saturday that he and Katich sorted out their differences in 2009 after the veteran grabbed the then vice-captain by the throat.
"I was brought up with this old-school mentality that if you have a disagreement, or have a fight or a stink with someone then you go and have a beer straight after," he said.
"You go and catch up and you're over it, that was what happened with Simon and I in my opinion."
Katich's recollection is different.
"The opposite happened .. he never came back in the dressing room," he laughed.
