Wasim Akram has questioned Pat Cummins' sandpapergate defence, saying an experienced bowler would spot sandpaper marks on the ball immediately.

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has questioned Pat Cummins’ claim that he was unaware of the ball-tampering incident during the 2018 Cape Town Test. Akram believes an experienced bowler would quickly notice if sandpaper had been used on the ball. The sandpapergate controversy has returned to the headlines after Usman Khawaja claimed in his book, Sabr, that the entire Australian team knew about the plan to use sandpaper. While David Warner has also supported Khawaja but Cummins has strongly denied the allegations. Akram, known for his expertise in reverse swing, explained that scratches caused by sandpaper look different from those made during normal ball maintenance. The former Pakistan captain said he was surprised by Cummins’ statement, considering he was part of the bowling attack during the Test. “I saw Pat Cummins, who’s a very close friend of mine, a great cricketer and one of the top leaders in world cricket, saying that he didn’t know. So probably the team didn’t know at the time what was happening, in my opinion. It’s my opinion. It can be right or wrong." “But as a bowler, when the cricket ball comes in my hand, either it’s the fifth over, either it’s in the 10th over, or either it’s in the 50th over, the old ball, where you look after the ball, you shine the one side; if it’s a dry day, dry square, you one bounce throw, you get scratch a bit." “But the sandpaper scratch is totally different from the one-bounce scratch,” Akram said in a video posted on social media. He also suggested that fans could check the difference themselves by rubbing sandpaper on a semi-new cricket ball. “And as a cricket lover, if you want to check, grab a semi-new cricket ball, grab a piece of sandpaper and rub it in; you know, the scratches are totally different,” he said.

Meanwhile, Cummins has rejected Khawaja’s claims and said that the Australian team did not know sandpaper was being used. “When he says we all knew, if by that he means that we knew sandpaper was going out on the field, he’s 100% wrong,” Cummins said. He also denied being involved in planning the incident, calling the allegations “complete and utter nonsense”.

WION World Is One Golf Invitational 2026: Tee off as golf meets global diplomacy

<p>Former Australian opener and one of the three penalised players from the 2018 ball-tampering saga, David Warner, has reignited the controversy following his remarks about Pat Cummins on Friday (Nov 13). After claiming that Cummins threw Usman Khawaja—whose autobiography <i>Sabr</i> brought the saga back into the spotlight—under the bus regarding teammate awareness during the Cape Town Test, Warner has accused Cricket Australia (CA) of a ‘cover-up’ in its investigation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read| </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/threw-uzzy-under-the-bus-david-warner-criticises-pat-cummins-over-khawaja-row-1794571978736"><strong>‘Threw Uzzy under the bus’: David Warner criticises Pat Cummins over Khawaja row</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In his social media post, Warner said that the governing body never questioned Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon during the 2018 investigation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"As far as I am aware, CA did not interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc or Nathan Lyon in their 2018 investigation," Warner posted on Instagram on Saturday. "If that's correct, then how can CA push the idea that the bowlers didn't know?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"It looks like they had decided who they wanted to blame from the very beginning, ran a shoddy investigation to serve the purpose, and now they want to maintain the false narrative that the bowlers had no idea. That stinks of a cover-up."</p>

<p>In response to Warner’s claims, a CA spokesperson said, "As we have stated previously, all players were given the opportunity to speak at the time of the initial investigation and have had the ability to come forward with new evidence in the eight years since.</p><p>“Subsequently, CA has respected every player and former player's right to provide their own version of events.”</p><h3>‘Uzzy’s being casual with my life’: Cummins</h3><p>During his 68-minute presser on Friday, Cummins responded to the media’s questions around Khawaja’s claims in his autobiography, which were aimed at Cummins and his then-teammates. Replying to accusations levelled against Cummins, the Australian ODI captain said that Usman has been his friend, but friends aren’t casual with each other’s lives and reputations.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"I've said that consistently for the last eight years. I did not know that was happening," he said. "But I think Usman actually says things that are actually far more serious than that. He says that I and others were architects of a scheme to ball tamper with sandpaper. That's complete and utter nonsense.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"I was genuinely shocked this week when I found out that Usman admitted that he told Cam [Cameron Bancroft] to be careful when using sandpaper. That's not the Usman that I know. It's not the Usman that has been part of a team that's helped rebuild the Australian cricket culture over the last eight years. And, you know, the Usman that would have stopped that from happening there and then.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"Usman is a friend, but friends aren't casual with each other's lives and reputations. In his book, Uzzy's being casual with my life and the lives of many others and I think Australian cricket,” Cummins continued.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Pat Cummins: &quot;When (Usman Khawaja) says 'we all knew', if by that he means that we knew sandpaper was going out on the field, he's 100 percent wrong.&quot; https://t.co/gmmCqhXGkI</p>&mdash; 7Cricket (@7Cricket) <a href="https://x.com/7Cricket/status/2121011358502166841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 12, 2026</a></blockquote>

<p>Meanwhile, Warner took a dig at Cummins for his comments during the broadcast of the ODI series opener between England and Australia in Perth on Friday.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"Pat Cummins was very well prepared this morning. I still stick by Uzzy and what he's written in that book. It's the truth, and I really support him. I actually feel for him at the moment. I actually feel that the captain today actually threw Uzzy under the bus, and I'm very, very disappointed about that,” Warner, Khawaja’s childhood friend and a long-time teammate, said.</p>

David Warner accuses Cricket Australia of a cover-up in the 2018 ball-tampering investigation, claiming senior bowlers were never questioned as the sandpaper row fallout intensifies.

Former Australian opener and one of the three penalised players from the 2018 ball-tampering saga, David Warner, has reignited the controversy following his remarks about Pat Cummins on Friday (Nov 13). After claiming that Cummins threw Usman Khawaja—whose autobiography Sabr brought the saga back into the spotlight—under the bus regarding teammate awareness during the Cape Town Test, Warner has accused Cricket Australia (CA) of a ‘cover-up’ in its investigation. Also read| ‘Threw Uzzy under the bus’: David Warner criticises Pat Cummins over Khawaja row In his social media post, Warner said that the governing body never questioned Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon during the 2018 investigation. "As far as I am aware, CA did not interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc or Nathan Lyon in their 2018 investigation," Warner posted on Instagram on Saturday. "If that's correct, then how can CA push the idea that the bowlers didn't know? "It looks like they had decided who they wanted to blame from the very beginning, ran a shoddy investigation to serve the purpose, and now they want to maintain the false narrative that the bowlers had no idea. That stinks of a cover-up."

<p>India have made a last-minute change to their Test squad for the two-match series against New Zealand starting next week in Wellington. The visitors have added seamer Gurnoor Brar to the side, while releasing left-arm unorthodox spinner Kuldeep Yadav to play domestic cricket back home. The lanky quick Brar, who leads the wickets chart for India in the ongoing ODI series, will link up with the remainder of the Test squad in Wellington and, as a result, will miss the fifth and final ODI on Sunday at Bay Oval.</p>

<p>India head coach Gautam Gambhir issued a stark warning to the Men in Blue following their shocking 244-run defeat to New Zealand in the fourth ODI at Bay Oval on Friday (Nov 13). The Kiwis skittled India for just 89 while defending 334 in their must-win game, exposing the visiting camp’s frequent batting failures on this tour. While India’s T20I side enjoyed scoring 200-plus totals during the triumphant 3-2 series, the One-Day unit has failed to click thus far. Even in the 2nd ODI in Wellington, India were reduced to 113/7 while chasing 134.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking to the media after conceding the fourth ODI, with the five-match series still tilted in India's favour (2-1), Gambhir said such batting conditions are the closest this team will get during the 2027 ODI World Cup in Africa. Reflecting on how quickly this ODI outfit can turn things around, Gambhir urged senior players to bring their experience and fix such situations.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read| </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-nz-virat-kohli-matches-unwanted-indian-record-for-most-odi-ducks-1794563627973"><strong>IND vs NZ: Virat Kohli matches unwanted Indian record for most ODI ducks</strong></a><br>&nbsp;</p><p>"There's no benefit to sweeping it under the carpet," Gambhir said. "It isn't just this match. Even in the previous match, we were seven down for 111 or 112.

<p>Pinpointing the exact root of the problems for the Indian batters, Gambhir said, "Honestly, I don't go into this much technicality, wobble seam and all that. Ultimately, whether it is wobble seam or an upright seam, there was not much deviation. There was not much seam movement if you look at it. We create all these things - wobble seam, scrambled seam, cross seam. Ultimately, it is the job of the batsman to negate the movement. Whether it is the upright seam, wobble seam or scrambled seam.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>"I thought more than the wobble seam; it's the areas that has probably created a problem for us. It's that length, because it was that length where you couldn't go forward; you couldn't go back. It was that half-half length.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>"We had to be probably more committed towards it rather than getting stuck on the crease. For me, more than the wobble seam, it is where we got stuck in the crease was the problem,” he added.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>India and New Zealand will face off in the final ODI at Bay Oval on Sunday (Nov 15).</p>

India head coach Gautam Gambhir issued a stark warning following a 244-run defeat to New Zealand in the 4th ODI, highlighting batting flaws and World Cup conditions.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir issued a stark warning to the Men in Blue following their shocking 244-run defeat to New Zealand in the fourth ODI at Bay Oval on Friday (Nov 13). The Kiwis skittled India for just 89 while defending 334 in their must-win game, exposing the visiting camp’s frequent batting failures on this tour. While India’s T20I side enjoyed scoring 200-plus totals during the triumphant 3-2 series, the One-Day unit has failed to click thus far. Even in the 2nd ODI in Wellington, India were reduced to 113/7 while chasing 134. Speaking to the media after conceding the fourth ODI, with the five-match series still tilted in India's favour (2-1), Gambhir said such batting conditions are the closest this team will get during the 2027 ODI World Cup in Africa. Reflecting on how quickly this ODI outfit can turn things around, Gambhir urged senior players to bring their experience and fix such situations. Also read| IND vs NZ: Virat Kohli matches unwanted Indian record for most ODI ducks "There's no benefit to sweeping it under the carpet," Gambhir said. "It isn't just this match. Even in the previous match, we were seven down for 111 or 112. Today we lost, so we are talking about it. "Yeah, it's a huge defeat, no doubt about it, but even in the previous match, if you're chasing 135, and you get seven down for 111, obviously it is a bit of a concern, because yes, there is some help here for the bowlers, so we have to be not only mentally but from the skill point of view we need to be ready as well.

<p>Cricket Australia found a bit of respite from the ongoing Sandpapergate scandal claims made in Usman Khawaja's book after debutant Mahli Beardman took 6/24 on his ODI debut. Beardman, 21, dismantled the England side in Perth on Friday (Nov 13) to take the second-most wickets by a bowler on ODI debut. Before him, Kagiso Rabada (6/16 vs Bangladesh in 2015) and Fidel Edwards (6/22 vs Zimbabwe in 2003) had taken six-wicket hauls on ODI debut as well. The record for the best bowling figures on ODI debut rests with Scotland's Charlie Cassell, who took 7/21 against Oman in 2024. Beardman's figures, however, are the best for Australia on ODI debut, going past Tony Dodemaide's 5/21 against Sri Lanka in 1988, also in Perth.</p><p><strong>Also Read</strong> - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-nz-4th-odi-39-year-old-teenager-rohit-shows-off-fielding-skills-with-diving-catch-1794553087971">IND vs NZ 4th ODI: 39-year-old 'teenager' Rohit shows off fielding skills with diving catch</a></p><h2>How Beardman destroyed England on ODI debut</h2><p>Beardman first dismissed England skipper Harry Brook with England already at 42/2 in 11.1 overs.

<h2>Who is Mahli Beardman?</h2><p>Beardman has been talked about in Australian cricket circles since an early age and has had former Aussie legend Dennis Lillee as a mentor since he was 15. He helped Australia win the U-19 World Cup in 2024, where he took 10 wickets, including 3/15 in the final against India in Benoni, South Africa, which also won him Player of the Match (POTM).</p><p>He made his Big Bash League (BBL) debut in the 2024/25 season for the Perth Scorchers but played only two games and took three wickets. In the 2025/26 season, he got to play 11 matches and took 13 wickets. He also made his T20I debut earlier this year in January against Pakistan in Lahore and took 2/33.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Australian pacer Mahli Beardman, 21, took a record 6/24 against England in Perth on ODI debut, breaking Tony Dodemaide's 38-year-old Australian mark as England folded for 131.

Cricket Australia found a bit of respite from the ongoing Sandpapergate scandal claims made in Usman Khawaja's book after debutant Mahli Beardman took 6/24 on his ODI debut. Beardman, 21, dismantled the England side in Perth on Friday (Nov 13) to take the second-most wickets by a bowler on ODI debut. Before him, Kagiso Rabada (6/16 vs Bangladesh in 2015) and Fidel Edwards (6/22 vs Zimbabwe in 2003) had taken six-wicket hauls on ODI debut as well. The record for the best bowling figures on ODI debut rests with Scotland's Charlie Cassell, who took 7/21 against Oman in 2024. Beardman's figures, however, are the best for Australia on ODI debut, going past Tony Dodemaide's 5/21 against Sri Lanka in 1988, also in Perth.

The next wicket was Joe Root on the last ball of the 14th over to bring the Three Lions down to 55/4. In the 16th over, Beardman dismissed Jordan Cox and Sam Curran, and England slid down further to 58/6. Beardman completed his five-for by dismissing Liam Dawson in the 18th over before finishing England's innings on 131 with the wicket of Jofra Archer in the 34th over. Have a look at some of the wickets below:

<p>Rohit Sharma may be touching 40, but his fielding skills are still the same as if he were in his 20s. After a brilliant run-out in the 2nd ODI, Rohit was once again very agile and athletic in the field during the 4th ODI against New Zealand on Friday (Nov 13) at Mount Maunganui. He took a diving catch at cover shortly after stopping a well-struck shot. Rohit's catch ended a 90-run fourth-wicket partnership for New Zealand and gave India an opening to make a comeback into the match.</p><p><strong>Also Read</strong> - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/throw-people-in-at-the-deep-end-aakash-chopra-suggests-rinku-singh-as-new-kkr-skipper-1794550291002">'Throw people in at the deep end': Aakash Chopra suggests Rinku Singh as new KKR skipper</a></p><h2>Rohit shows off fielding skills in 4th ODI vs NZ</h2><p>The moment came in the 31st over with New Zealand sitting pretty at 215/3, with Finn Allen batting on 41 off 30 balls, having already added 90 runs for the fourth wicket with Will Young, who scored 125. Axar Patel bowled a shortish ball outside off, and Allen played a back-foot drive a bit early towards cover, where Rohit was stationed. The former skipper made no mistake and took a sharp diving catch to break the stand. Have a look at the wicket below:</p>

<h2>NZ give India 334-run target for series win</h2><p>Down 0-2 in the five-ODI series, with the third match having been abandoned, the Kiwis started well with an 85-run opening stand between Young and Tim Seifert (58). The partnership was broken by Gurnoor Brar on the final ball of the 12th over as he dismissed Seifert. Axar then removed Nick Kelly with a peach of a delivery before Auqib Nabi sent back Dean Foxcroft, with New Zealand suddenly reduced to 125/3 from 85/0.</p><p>The fourth-wicket stand between Allen and Young stabilized things before lower-order contributions by skipper Mitchell Santner (24), Kristian Clarke (22), and Kyle Jamieson (19 not out) helped New Zealand post 333 in 50 overs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Rohit Sharma took a sharp diving catch at cover to dismiss Finn Allen (41), breaking a 90-run stand with Will Young (125) as New Zealand posted 333 against India in the Mount Maunganui ODI.
