'It's 100% accurate': Warner backs Khawaja's 'Sandpapergate' claims
David Warner has thanked former teammate Usman Khawaja for telling 'the truth' about the ball-tampering scandal in Cape Town.
Recent comments by Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja regarding the Sandpaper Gate incident have sparked debate. Khawaja stated that "It was all of us" in the matter, drawing mixed reactions. Former Australian Test opener Nic Maddison criticized Khawaja for potentially using the incident to promote his autobiography. However, David Warner defended Khawaja, stating that "This isn’t about reopening old wounds.
It’s about acknowledging that some wounds never properly healed." Warner, along with current Test vice-captain Steven Smith and Cameron Bancroft, faced consequences for supporting Khawaja. Khawaja explained that his decision to speak out was a promise he made to childhood friend David Warner and a commitment to tell the truth. He expressed no regret for speaking up on behalf of all cricketers.
