Australia cricketer Usman Khawaja has stated that the entire national team was aware of the ball-tampering plan involving sandpaper during the final Test of their 2018 series against South Africa.
The 2018 scandal, often referred to as "Sandpapergate," previously resulted in heavy sanctions for a few specific individuals, including then-captain Steve Smith, vice-captain David Warner, and batsman Cameron Bancroft. However, Khawaja's recent comments indicate broader awareness within the squad regarding the illicit tactics used on the field.
The revelations bring fresh attention to one of the most controversial chapters in modern cricket history, revisiting the events that took place in South Africa.
