What's behind this
Former Australian head coach Darren Lehmann has publicly challenged former batter Usman Khawaja’s recent claims about the 2018 ball‑tampering scandal.

Lehmann questioned the timing of these explosive “Sandpaper Gate” revelations, defended the team’s legacy and suggested the claims may be linked to Khawaja’s upcoming book.
