Wasim Akram has questioned Pat Cummins' claim of not knowing about the 2018 ball‑tampering scandal, saying "I'll know straight away" that sandpaper had been used.

He added that a bowler with experience should be able to recognise the distinctive scratches made by sandpaper.

Cummins has firmly dismissed Usman Khawaja's allegations that the entire Australian squad was complicit.
