Darren Lehmann rejects Khawaja's sandpaper claims
Lehmann pushes back against fresh allegations about the 2018 Cape Town scandal.
Darren Lehmann denied Usman Khawaja's claims that the entire 2018 Australia touring party knew about the sandpaper plan. Lehmann served as head coach during the South Africa tour.
Lehmann said not everyone would have known about the ball-tampering. He suggested the timing of Khawaja's revelation was related to book sales.
Khawaja alleged in his book 'Sabr' that sandpaper was first used in the Test at Gqeberha and involved all team members.
