Warner “very, very disappointed” with Cummins comments

David Warner has continued to defend Usman Khawaja following his explosive claims in regards to the infamous Sandpapergate saga.

Warner, who was suspended for twelve months for his involvement in the saga in 2018 backed up Khawaja’s version of events from his auto-biography ‘Sabr’ in which he claims that all Test team members knew of its use.

This goes against the public statements made by current Australian Test captain Pat Cummins where he denied any knowledge of sandpaper during the Cape Town Test in 2018.

Speaking on Fox Cricket’s coverage during Australia’s first ODI against England at Optus Stadium, the former opener believed Cummins threw him under the bus.

“I still stick by Uzzie,” he said.

“And what he's written in that in that book. It is the truth and I really, really support him.

“I actually feel for him at the moment. I actually feel that the captain today actually threw Uzzie under the bus. And I'm very, very disappointed about that.”
