Former Australia batter <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/australia-usman-khawaja-recalls-the-time-when-brendon-mccullum-sledged-him-during-test-series-23603772" rel="nofollow">Usman Khawaja</a> claimed on Saturday that the entire team knew about the 2018 Sandpapergate scandal.
&ldquo;It was all of us. Not [just] the batters, bowlers, or staff,&rdquo; Khawaja said ahead of the release of his autobiography, despite bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon publicly denying in 2021 that they knew about the ball-tampering incident.&nbsp;
Khawaja said he spoke with the team after the Cape Town, urging them to take collective responsibility, rather than scapegoating David Warner, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft. &ldquo;In an ideal world, I don&rsquo;t want to be the one who talks about the truth. But &nbsp;thought after eight years the truth would have been out by now,&rdquo; he added. Later in the day, Cricket Australia stated: &ldquo;All relevant information has been properly considered, and we remain comfortable with the findings of our inquiry.&rdquo;
