Usman Khawaja has clarified his recent comments regarding the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, stating that David Warner, Steve Smith, and Cameron Bancroft are the victims of the incident, not the Australian team.
The Australian opener addressed media reports that suggested he had downplayed the severity of the scandal. Khawaja emphasized that the three players bore the brunt of the sanctions and public backlash.
Khawaja's remarks come as the cricket community continues to reflect on the Cape Town incident, which led to lengthy bans for Warner, Smith, and Bancroft.
