Joe Root shuts down Usman Khawaja's claim that 'the whole world' was ball tampering after Australian's explosive Sandpapergate confession

Joe Root has responded to Usman Khawaja's explosive claim that 'the whole world' was engaged in ball tampering, playing down the Australian's assertion. Khawaja, the former Australia opener, made the revelations in what is being described as a confession related to the Sandpapergate scandal.
