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.

CricHubb Take

Lehmann's denial keeps the debate alive about who knew what during one of cricket's darkest episodes.
