Starc denies knowledge of Sandpapergate amid persistent claims

Mitchell Starc has stated he had no knowledge of the ball-tampering scandal known as 'Sandpapergate,' responding to allegations made by Usman Khawaja. Khawaja suggested that all of the Australian team was aware of the scheme during the South Africa tour in 2018. Cricket Australia has decided not to reopen the investigation into the incident, which has generated renewed discussion and scrutiny among players and fans. This announcement comes in light of the comments made by Khawaja, which have resurfaced interest in the events from four years ago.
