Khawaja's new autobiography says the whole Australian squad knew of the sandpaper plan, and Cricket Australia's chief executive has ruled out a fresh inquiry into the 2018 incident.
Usman Khawaja's new autobiography claims the whole Australian team knew of the plan to rub the ball with sandpaper.
The scandal surfaced in 2018 during the Cape Town Test against South Africa.
At the time, Cameron Bancroft got a nine-month ban, while Steve Smith and David Warner got one-year bans each.
Cricket Australia's chief executive has rejected the possibility of re-investigating the incident.
The 2021 joint statement by Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon is now being questioned.
