Former Australia batter Usman Khawaja alleges in his autobiography that he was racially abused by an MCC member at Lord's during the 2023 Ashes Test.

He recalls hostile behaviour from spectators following Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal, an incident that led to three MCC members being punished. Khawaja also claims Australia's entire team knew about the 2018 sandpaper ball-tampering scandal.
