I haven't thrown anyone under the bus - Khawaja
Usman Khawaja says he has "not thrown anyone under the bus" with revelations about the sandpaper scandal that engulfed the Australia team in 2018.
USMAN KHAWAJA claims in his upcoming autobiography that the entire Australian cricket team was aware of the ball-tampering attempts during the 2018 Test series against South Africa, a scandal known as 'Sandpapergate'. This revelation, which was not limited to the third Test in Cape Town, also occurred in the previous match, according to Khawaja's account.
His comments have sparked a backlash, with former Australia coach Darren Lehmann and ex-England captain Michael Vaughan criticizing his assertions. Khawaja has taken to social media to clarify his remarks, stating that he stands by his account and that the media has exaggerated the situation. Khawaja maintains that the responsibility for the ball-tampering episode should be shared by the entire team, and he refuses to speak on behalf of others in his book, contrary to the accusations made by the clickbait media.
