Cummins rejects Khawaja's claims about 2018 sandpaper scandal

Australia captain Pat Cummins has firmly denied assertions by Usman Khawaja concerning the 2018 ball-tampering affair. He maintains that he had no knowledge of the plan and says he has held that position consistently over the years. The renewed scrutiny followed Khawaja's autobiography, which revived attention on the incident. Cummins responded strongly to the claims, calling them nonsense. Nevertheless, he has chosen not to pursue legal action and wants to put the controversy behind him.
