'We absolutely support Pat': Cricket Australia backs Cummins amid fresh Sandpapergate row

Cricket Australia has publicly backed captain Pat Cummins amid a renewed controversy over the 2018 Sandpapergate ball-tampering scandal. The row has resurfaced following claims made by former Australian batter Usman Khawaja in his autobiography 'Sabr', in which he alleges that all members of the Australian touring party in South Africa were aware of the plan to tamper with the ball. Cricket Australia's statement of support for Cummins comes as the allegations threaten to reignite one of cricket's most significant cheating controversies.
