Pat Cummins can end sandpaper saga with full disclosure of what players knew – not what they didn’t | Geoff Lemon
Geoff Lemon's Guardian column revisits Cricket Australia's 2018 ball tampering sanctions from the South Africa tour, arguing that Usman Khawaja's book — which says tampering was a team-wide policy driven from the coaches down, and that David Warner, Mitchell Starc and others have backed — shows the official three-player account no longer holds. He writes that Australia's current captain Pat Cummins, though a minor figure in 2018, should end the saga with full disclosure of what players knew, since the old review's scope was fixed to shield everyone else and fudging only keeps the story alive.
