Usman Khawaja has dropped a bombshell on Australian cricket, revealing new details about Sandpapergate in the lead-up to his new book. But is he exposing the truth or throwing former teammates under the bus to sell a few copies?
In this special Cricket Unfiltered reaction, Menners examines Khawaja's revelations, the alleged wider team involvement, Cricket Australia's response and Darren Lehman's comments. He also revisits the 2021 statement from Australia's fast bowlers and questions what Khawaja hopes to achieve by reopening the controversy eight years later.
A pretty strong view on what this means for Pat Cummins, the current Australian team and the Baggy Green.
