Khawaja claims whole 2018 Australia team knew about sandpaper plan

Khawaja expands the scope of alleged knowledge in the 2018 sandpaper scandal.

Usman Khawaja stated the whole 2018 Australian touring party knew about the sandpaper plan. He said sandpaper was first used in the Test at Gqeberha and the issue involved all team members.

Khawaja made the claims in his upcoming book 'Sabr'. The allegations extend beyond batters and bowlers to include staff.

Darren Lehmann has already rejected the suggestion that everyone knew about the ball-tampering.
