Pat Cummins says Usman Khawaja’s sandpaper scandal claims are ‘utter nonsense’

Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins has dismissed claims made by teammate Usman Khawaja in his newly released autobiography regarding the 2018 sandpaper ball-tampering scandal, calling them 'utter nonsense.' Khawaja's book contains a series of explosive revelations about the infamous incident, which rocked Australian cricket and resulted in bans for Steve Smith, David Warner, and Cameron Bancroft. Cummins' strong rebuttal signals ongoing tensions within the Australian cricket camp over the legacy of the sandpaper affair.
