What's behind this
Chris Broad has publicly criticised former Australian head coach Darren Lehmann, questioning how Lehmann could have been unaware of the 2018 ball‑tampering scandal – referred to as Sandpapergate – during the South Africa tour. Broad supports the claims made by former player Usman Khawaja, who wrote in his autobiography that the entire Australian team was aware of the misconduct. Khawaja has said his revelations are not meant to single out individuals and has urged the current Australian side to share the responsibility for the incident.
