Former Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja has revealed in his autobiography that Australia were tampering with the ball during the 2017-18 Ashes series against England, predating the infamous 'Sandpapergate' scandal. Khawaja admits that the entire team was aware of the ball-doctoring taking place during that series. The revelations add further controversy to Australian cricket's handling of ball tampering, which previously came to a head during the 2018 South Africa tour.
