Australia Test captain Pat Cummins calls Khawaja's sandpapergate claims ‘complete and utter nonsense’

Australia Test captain Pat Cummins held a press conference at Cricket NSW's Sydney headquarters to flatly deny claims made by former teammate Usman Khawaja in his book 'Sabr' that the entire Australian team was implicated in the 2018 sandpaper ball-tampering scandal in South Africa. Cummins called the allegations 'complete and utter nonsense' and '100% wrong,' insisting he had no knowledge of any ball-tampering plot. The press conference took place approximately one week after Khawaja's allegations became public.
