Pat Cummins press conference live updates: Australian cricket captain to speak about Usman Khawaja’s ‘Sandpapergate’ claims

Cummins to speak about allegations in Khawaja’s book about the 2018 ball-tampering incident

‘Complete and utter nonsense’

Cummins says he was “genuinely shocked” this week amid the comments in Khawaja’s book. He went on:

When he says we all knew, if that he means we knew sandpaper was going out on the field, he’s 100% wrong. I said that consistently for the last eight years. I did not know that was happening. …

He says that I and others were architects of a scheme to ball tamper with sandpaper. That’s complete and utter nonsense.
