Former Australian batter Usman Khawaja has claimed that the entire Australian team, including players and support staff, was involved in the 2018 ball-tampering scandal during the South Africa tour. This revelation contradicts Cricket Australia's findings that implicated only Steve Smith, David Warner, and Cameron Bancroft, who received bans ranging from nine to 12 months.
Khawaja expressed disappointment that the three players were left to bear the blame alone, despite his expectation that the truth would have emerged in the past eight years. He urged the team to take collective responsibility for the incident, highlighting the lasting impact on Cameron Bancroft and Steve Smith.
