Pat Cummins, during a press conference in Sydney, refuted the allegations made in the book 'Sabr' by his former teammate Usman Khawaja. Khawaja had claimed in his memoir that beyond the three banned players, other team members were aware of the ball-tampering plot involving sandpaper. Cummins insisted there was "no masterplan" for using illegal methods and labeled Khawaja's claims as baseless. He also strongly rejected Khawaja's assertion that his failure to be named captain was due to racism. Despite receiving legal advice that some of the claims were "probably defamatory," Cummins stated he would not pursue legal action, adding that it is time to move on.
