Khawaja's 'Sandpapergate' book does not worry Cummins
Pat Cummins says he is proud of the Australian team's evolution since the 2018 "Sandpapergate" incident, as Usman Khawaja, who played in that Test, prepares to release his autobiography.
Australian captain Pat Cummins states that the team has moved on from the infamous Sandpapergate incident of the 2018 Cape Town Test. Usman Khawaja, who was part of the team during that Test and later suspended for ball tampering, is set to release his autobiography next month. Khawaja's book will be the first from any Australian player who participated in that match.
Despite the incident causing a significant controversy in Australian cricket, Cummins expresses that he is not concerned about the potential mention of the incident in Khawaja's book. The captain notes that the team has dealt with the situation and moved on, expressing satisfaction with the team's evolution over the past eight to nine years.
Both Cummins and Khawaja, childhood friends, acknowledge that tensions between the two teams have significantly diminished since the 2018 series, with neither side expecting similar disputes.
