Neil Manthorp & the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison head to Australia to react to Usman Khawaja's latest comments after the infamous 'Sandpaper Gate' scandal, and they get the latest from CODE Sports' Robert Craddock. They debate if Cricket Australia need to re-open an investigation and if Khawaja's comments tarnish the legacy of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc. They also react to England's Test squad named for the South Africa series next month, with live ball-by-ball commentary on talkSPORT 2 and the talkSPORT Cricket YouTube Channel, as Shoaib Bashir is dropped, whilst Jordan Cox and Jacob Bethell look set to battle it out for the No.3 slot. Plus, they discuss reports linking Sir James Anderson with a move to Surrey, and they hear from England Men's National Selector Marcus North.
