Cummins will address Khawaja's claims that the entire 2018 team knew of the sandpaper plan used in South Africa.
Pat Cummins will hold a media conference Friday at 9:30am in Sydney. He'll respond to Usman Khawaja's allegations from his new book.
Khawaja claims everyone on the 2018 tour knew about the sandpaper tampering plan used in South Africa. Cummins said he took time to understand all the allegations before responding.
David Warner also got involved. He questioned why assistant coach Graeme Hick is speaking.
The team had disagreements over coaching roles in the past. Hick says he had no prior knowledge of the tampering and called Khawaja's claims absolutely false.
