Mitchell Starc becomes the first current player to respond to Usman Khawaja's fresh Sandpapergate claims, denying he and the bowlers knew of the plot.
Mitchell Starc has rejected Usman Khawaja's claim that everyone in the Australian dressing room knew about ball-tampering during the infamous Newlands Test against South Africa in 2018.
Mitchell Starc says his recollection remains unchanged from the 2021 joint statement issued by the Australian bowling quartet, as Usman Khawaja's autobiography makes fresh claims.
Mitchell Starc clarified that he was not speaking on behalf of the other bowlers, while reiterating that his position remained unchanged.
Australian pace veteran Mitchell Starc broke his silence on former batter Usman Khawaja's recent explosive revelations about the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, saying that he "has not paid much...
