Usman Khawaja challenges Australia’s 2018 ball-tampering findings
Former Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja has challenged the findings of Cricket Australia’s 2018 ball-tampering investigation. In his upcoming autobiography, he claims discussions about altering the ball involved more team members. His account raises fresh questions about Australia’s infamous Sandpapergate scandal. The controversy emerged during Australia’s March 2018 Test against South Africa…
Western Australia coach Beau Casson has praised Cameron Bancroft's professionalism following the recent revelation about the 2018 sandpaper ball-tampering incident. Usman Khawaja disclosed that the entire squad was aware of the plot, but only three players were found guilty: Bancroft, David Warner, and Steve Smith. Bancroft was banned for nine months, while Warner and Smith received a year-long ban.
Despite this, Khawaja urged the team to take collective responsibility instead of singling out the three individuals. Western Australia will face Victoria in a Sheffield Shield match at the MCG on Wednesday.
