Former Australian Test opener Usman Khawaja has defended his decision to speak about ball tampering, the Guardian reported. Khawaja posted an explanation on social media, according to the Guardian, after his comments drew widespread attention in Australian cricket. The remarks came a day after Khawaja said sandpaper had been used during the Test before Cape Town in 2018, and that the whole team bore responsibility, the Guardian reported. He also said he would not deny that everyone knew about the sandpaper, while insisting he had not thrown anyone under the bus. Khawaja defended the timing of his claims, the Guardian reported.
