Former Australian cricket player and coach Darren Lehmann has rejected claims made by Usman Khawaja that the entire Australian team was aware of the 2018 ball-tampering plot. This was reported by ABC News and CNA. Khawaja has disputed the findings of the original investigation into the incident, while Lehmann responded by stating that, until that day, players across the globe frequently engaged in unauthorized practices to alter the condition of the ball.

The debate surrounding the findings of the investigation remains a focus of public discussion in the sport. Further details regarding the new claims or any future investigative procedures have not yet been released.
