Former Australian opening batter David Warner has backed Usman Khawaja following his recent statements on the 2018 Sandpaper Gate scandal, emphasising that the truth needed to be revealed. Warner also raised doubts over how the official investigation into the ball-tampering incident was handled.

In a video posted to his Instagram account, Warner offered his complete backing to Khawaja, urging viewers to concentrate on the revelations rather than questioning their timing eight years after the incident.
