Usman Khawaja says entire Australia team knew about Sandpapergate scandal
Former Australian opener Usman Khawaja stated that the whole squad was aware of the ball-tampering incident in Cape Town in 2018.
Khawaja contradicts Cricket Australia claims
The former batter told the Sydney Morning Herald that all players and staff were involved. This statement conflicts with Cricket Australia's assertion that only three individuals knew about the plot. Khawaja emphasized that it was not just the batters or bowlers who participated.
Book release prompts comments
Khawaja made these remarks ahead of the publication of his new book titled Sabr. He retired from international cricket after Australia defeated England in the Ashes series last winter. The incident occurred during the third Test match against South Africa eight years ago.
